What do kids love to listen to? Music. And often times that music is rap. This program combines what kids like to listen to and does it in a way that is educational. Rappin' Up Careers can be presented as a complete program or used as a supplement to existing career materials. Each original rap gives information about the career being presented and the leader's guide includes a related activity for each career. The careers presented are soldier, teacher, salesperson, rock star, manager, professional baseball player, carpenter, doctor, farmer, pilot, domestic engineer, and chef. The careers are gender-friendly to both males and females. If you want a lively lesson, this program is the answer.
