The CANDOO® is a fun and engaging game designed to get young learners thinking about and discussing careers. It can be played as a game on its own or built into wider careers activities.
The aim of the game is to build up skills and qualifications to complete your career path. You can complete your career path by collecting 4 out of 5 skills cards and a qualification card relevant to your career. Win by collecting the most points. Use life experiences cards to help your career, add bonus points to your career path or even prevent others from completing their career path!
“Pupils really enjoy the game play but most importantly I overheard one group of pupils having a really interesting conversation about science careers and the game really seemed to be provoking questions and discussion which is fab- it’s also great for science capital and promoting literacy too- so thank you for creating it!”
Rose Edmondson, Teacher of Science
