Grades 6–8 (Game)
Take your students on a trek through agricultural careers! The Career Trek Game is an interactive, small-group activity designed for up to four players per board. The objective is for students to name and learn about 10 different careers in agriculture and natural resources while having fun in a game-based format.
This classroom set includes 10 game boards—enough for 40 middle school students to play simultaneously. Use the Career Trek lesson plan to guide instruction, and extend learning by connecting the careers in the game to the Discover Agriculture Career Cards.
