How to use the Job Wheel
The Job Wheel picks an occupation for stories, characters, charades and classroom games. Here's how to choose a field and use the result.
Quick start
- Start with Mixed, or pick Creative, Science, Trades or Office.
- Spin to land on an occupation.
- Build a character, act it out or write about it.
- Remove & spin again for a whole cast of jobs.
Pick a field
Choose Mixed, Creative, Science, Trades or Office. Trades covers hands-on work like electrician, baker and welder.
Add unusual jobs
Add jobs that spark stories, like lighthouse keeper, and they join the wheel.
Your job
The card shows the occupation. It's for games and stories, not career advice. Remove & spin again gives every character or player a different job.
