Plug + Play Videos
Designed to be exciting and interactive, our plug and play videos are an engaging way to introduce new job roles to children. Each video is based around a theme and includes two to four volunteers talking about their job, from pilots to professional crafters.
Use as a lesson with teacher plan and worksheets, or break these down into smaller sections to intersperse with other learning. The different theme of each video makes them ideal for using to create cross-curriculum learning and introduce careers education.
As soon as you’re signed up to Primary Futures, you can access the videos, worksheets, and lesson plans on the platform.
