• 1 x Instruction sheet

Created to directly meet the Stage 6 Food Technology syllabus dot point:

• explain career opportunities and working conditions, including gender issues within the Australian food industry

To play, simply select 3 students to be ‘in’. Have them stand in front of the whiteboard or against a blank wall and blu-tak the laminated sheets above their heads out of their view.

Students will have the opportunity to ask yes or no questions, which the rest of the class can answer. They will take it in turns from left to right, unless someone asks a yes question, then they get an extra turn which continues until they get a no.

Before beginning it would be useful to have a class brainstorm about the type of meaningful questions, they could ask to reveal the food career.

Some starting questions might be:

• Do I work in the food retail sector?
• Does this career require you to have a degree before beginning employment?
• Does this job have unusual working conditions, such as working in cold temperatures?
• Do you need any special machine licences to work in this industry?
• Is this a career that uses advanced technology?
