Professions for children, how to choose and not make a mistake. We tell children about professions in a fairy tale About professions for children 5 6 years old
Children grow up quickly and ask more and more questions every day. And I really want to tell them everything as interesting and colorful as possible! This time we will try to tell children about professions. There are a lot of them, they are all interesting, but we will try to explain to children what a profession is and tell them about the main professions.
So, we tell children about professions with the help of a fairy tale!
A Tale of Lost Professions
There lived two little girls - Katya and Lera. They were sisters and were very curious. Every day they asked their mom and dad so many questions that they simply did not have time to answer them:
- What for?
- And why?
And that’s why mom and dad called them why. And then one day the little girls were walking in the yard and playing happily. Katya took out the candy she had taken with her from home from her pocket, unwrapped it, quickly put it in her mouth and threw the candy wrapper on the ground. Lera, seeing how cheerfully the wind picked up the piece of paper and carried it onto the road, did the same with her candy wrapper. The girls laughed merrily and wanted to continue their game of catch-up, but then they saw how some old man in a smeared apron and with a broom in his hands picked up the candy wrappers they had thrown and sadly shook his head:
- Is it possible to do this? - he asked. Which one of you will grow up?
- I will be a princess! – Katya said
- And I will be a princess! – Lera confirmed.
“Every girl dreams of becoming a princess...” answered the old man. But what use are princesses? You would better think about what profession you will choose for yourself when you grow up.
- Profession? - Katya asked - what is this? Is she delicious? Big? Why is it called that?
—You don’t know what a profession is? – the old man was surprised. But you are already so big! Every person in this world benefits others by doing their work. Doctors treat sick people, drivers drive buses, hairdressers give people beautiful hairstyles and cut their hair...
But the old man did not have time to finish; the girls interrupted him in unison:
- Fiiii... this is boring! We will have fun and play and order everyone around!
The old man shook his head sadly again and tapped his broom on the ground three times, and then said the magic words:
Spin the whole world in place,
The winds blow above me,
Let professions be like animals
Every single one of them will run away!
And at that moment everything began to spin around the girls - houses, trees, and even swings from the playground were flying. Katya and Lera covered their eyes with their palms out of fear and huddled close to each other. When everything calmed down, they opened their eyes and saw that everything was in its place, but something was wrong.
There was a lot of garbage on the street, there was a terrible smell...
“Eww...” said Lera. – Why doesn’t anyone clean here?!
“Yes,” answered Katya, “there’s definitely no place for princesses here!”
And the girls decided to go home - they no longer wanted to play. But an unpleasant surprise awaited them at home - the house was somehow different - it was all cracked, ugly, as if no one had renovated it for a long time.
- Mom, can we have something tasty? – Lera asked.
“Alas,” said mom. You know that all professions have disappeared in our city. Nobody bakes sweet buns anymore because the baker has completely forgotten how to bake. And no one works at the chocolate factory anymore - all the confectioners have forgotten how they made chocolates and candies. And you can’t buy anything else in the store - there are no more sellers there, and it was closed. People have forgotten how to do useful things, they have forgotten their professions.
- But won’t we be able to buy anything now? – Katya was surprised.
“We can’t…” Mom sighed sadly. After all, for the store to start working again, a salesperson is needed - a person who will sell what is in the store, take money from customers and give them what they want, and put goods on the counter. And there’s nothing left to sell. We used to have a baker - he baked delicious pies and buns, various breads.
- And he walked around in a white cap and apron! – Katya finished for her.
“Yes,” my mother answered. - but he no longer knows how to do this - his profession has disappeared somewhere. And the driver, who drove the car and brought groceries to the store, forgot how to drive. He can't bring anything.
Katya and Lera got upset and went for a walk - after all, it was boring at home. The city has become completely different. No one swept the paths, no flowers grew in the flower beds, there were broken swings on the playground and no one repaired them.
Doctors no longer visited the sick. After all, being a doctor is also a profession. It is the doctor who treats all illnesses - a sore throat, a runny nose, and if someone is injured. Doctors always rushed to help those who were sick, and when help was needed very urgently, they came in a special car, which was called an “ambulance.” The girls knew all this, and remembered that there was always a red cross painted on that car. But only now they realized that a doctor is a necessary and useful profession, without which it is very bad.
Buses no longer traveled around the city - all people had to walk, no matter how far they had to get. After all, the driver’s profession has also disappeared. Yes, these are the same drivers who drive buses every day and transport many people around the city.
But the worst thing was that both the kindergarten teachers and teachers disappeared - there was no one else to teach the children useful things and literacy. After all, a teacher is also a profession. Teachers teach children to count, read, write, tell them about how our world works, what it was like before, and much more. And the teachers teach the little ones simple but very necessary things - sculpting, drawing, learning rhymes, dancing, and even just how to behave correctly both at the table and on a walk.
Katya and Lera looked at each other and realized that they had done a great stupidity and offended that old man. After all, professions are really important and necessary, and every profession must be respected.
- What kind of profession is a princess? – Lera asked Katya.
“I don’t know...” answered Katya. - This is probably a useless profession. And in vain we chose her...
- But how can I get everything back now? After all, it is because of us that all people have forgotten how to do their jobs! – Lera asked.
“Maybe we just need to correct our mistake?” Do you remember how mom and dad always said that if you did something wrong, you just need to ask for forgiveness and correct your mistake? - Katya answered
- Yes exactly! – Lera agreed. Let's run quickly! We need to find that old man!
The girls ran back to the yard, but the old man was not there. Only mountains of garbage - after all, few people save the work of the janitor, and many simply throw garbage on the ground.
Katya and Lera saw their candy papers lying among all this garbage. Lera picked up her piece of paper, threw it into the trash can, and said:
- But when I grow up, I will become a cook!
- Why a cook? – Katya asked, throwing her piece of paper into the trash can.
— Because I want to cook delicious food for everyone!
- This is cool! - said Katya. “And I will be an artist and will paint the most beautiful pictures so that everyone in their home will have a beautiful place!”
And then a miracle happened. Everything around began to spin and spin again, and a minute later everything came back as if nothing had happened.
And the girls joined hands to go home and help their mother cook and clean the house. They no longer wanted to be princesses, they realized that there are many interesting and useful professions, and every child and adult can choose the one that he likes the most. But the most important thing is that every profession benefits other people!
This is how, with a fairy tale, you can tell children about professions in an interesting and relaxed way. And, you see, there is something here to think about and talk with the child, starting with an elementary question for the child: “What professions do you know?”
And to complete the topic “children about professions” I would like to add a few poems (this time the author is not me :)), which will help you more fully reveal this interesting topic to children:

List of used literature.
1. “Builders” by B. Zakhoder.
2. “Who to be” by V. Mayakovsky.
Here is a poster “Professions in pictures for children.” With it, you can tell children about professions in a simple and relaxed manner.
The poster contains such professions for children as: surgeon, policeman, waiter, butcher, gardener, plumber, hairdresser, politician, singer, tailor, dentist, cleaner, scientist, fireman, cashier, nurse, astronaut, optician, farmer, doctor, courier, builder, sculptor, cook, architect, detective, public transport driver, secretary, operator, teacher, veterinarian, mechanic, businessman, garbage man, artist, driver, stylist, electrician, lawyer, sales manager, carpenter, maid, accountant, engineer, policeman, dentist, salesman, border guard, librarian, welder, tank driver. Here you can learn a lot about the professions of a pilot, firefighter, doctor, which are considered one of the most dangerous. Pictures, poems, riddles, stories, photos, video presentations, songs and cartoons will help you with this.
How to work with cards?
Pictures and photos “For children about professions” You can print and hang them at home at the child’s eye level, sometimes go up to him and tell children about professions. Such a poster with illustrations and photos will be the best option for introducing children to professions.
How else can you use this poster to teach children about professions?
Print two posters at once, cut one of them into cards and associate the necessary professions with the child (accountant, engineer, policeman, dentist, salesman, border guard, librarian, welder, tank driver, driver, policeman, architect, hairdresser, lawyer, veterinarian, fireman, cook, teacher, etc.). You can also take a magnifying glass and look for a specific profession with children, such as doctor, firefighter or pilot. When you find it, talk a little about this profession with the children. When your child has a good understanding of professions, diversify his activities - ask him what this or that person in this profession does? This will make for a good conversation about careers with children.
You can download a free poster with pictures and photos “About professions for children” here. Click on the picture: Games with the poster “About professions for children” will broaden the child’s horizons, develop his attentiveness, memory, and fine motor skills of his fingers.
Try playing with your children too. In addition, here you can download cards with professions for children for free - professions in pictures and photos (accountant, engineer, policeman, dentist, salesman, border guard, librarian, welder, tank driver, driver, policeman, architect, hairdresser, lawyer, veterinarian, fireman, cook, teacher, etc.).
Songs, poems, riddles and stories
Songs, poems, riddles, and stories for children will help you learn professions with your child. Each of them reflects the most responsible and necessary professions (accountant, engineer, policeman, dentist, salesman, border guard, librarian, welder, tank driver, driver, policeman, architect, hairdresser, lawyer, veterinarian, fireman, cook, teacher, etc.) . Whatever the child wants to become, he must understand the difficulties or advantages of different video activities. Songs, poems, stories and riddles will help him do this without difficulty.

Video materials
According to the Doman method
from the Club of Passionate Moms
Selected professions
Accountant
Police officer
Firefighter
Builder
Architect
Cartoons and video presentations are also excellent assistants for adults in working with children. They provide a description of many types of activities (accountant, engineer, policeman, dentist, salesman, border guard, librarian, welder, tank driver, driver, policeman, architect, hairdresser, lawyer, veterinarian, fireman, cook, teacher, etc.).
Video presentations, themed videos, and cartoons represent any profession that may be of interest to a child. If a cartoon presents images in a hand-drawn form, then a video presentation allows a child to imagine what a representative of a particular profession looks like (accountant, engineer, policeman, dentist, salesman, border guard, librarian, welder, tank driver, driver, policeman, architect, hairdresser, lawyer, veterinarian, fireman, cook, teacher, etc.). In this regard, the video presentation is superior to the cartoon. It can be used in lessons and thematic activities. At the same time, watching a cartoon with children can be much more interesting, presenting your story along the way.
A presentation or cartoon may contain a short story or poem about a profession, for example, a doctor or a fireman, or a photo of representatives of a certain type of activity. A teacher or parent will be able to compose a story based on them himself. Older children can be asked to independently compose a story about the activities of a firefighter, doctor, pilot, etc. Ask the children why the work of a teacher and a doctor is considered the most difficult and responsible. By the way, kids often play doctor in childhood. What attracts them to this work? Perhaps an opportunity to help others?
Any profession is necessary and important: children should know this. It is necessary to instill respect for the work of others from a very early age.
