Guess the Cluster

knowledge of the career clusters

it could fit into

cluster (some careers may fit into 2!)

Guess the Cluster

• 2 options

• Kahoot OR PowerPoint

• There are 2 mentor PowerPoints available

on our website

• 1 contains a link to Kahoot, an online game

system

• 1 keeps everything in PowerPoint


Guess the Cluster

• If you have a Kahoot account and/or can

coordinate with the teacher to use theirs

you can use the Kahoot option

• If you don’t have a Kahoot account or

would simply feel more comfortable

keeping everything in PowerPoint I would

recommend doing that

Guess the Clusters – Kahoot

• If you’re going to use Kahoot -• You’ll direct students to kahoot.it (on a different device

or different tab)

• You’ll click on the link in the mentor PowerPoint and be directed to the game

• A unique PIN will be created which students will input

• You’ll play the game on Kahoot

*note – A guest Kahoot account will only allow a very limited number of players, so that will likely not work for your class


Guess the Clusters –

PowerPoint Version• If you stay in PowerPoint for the game,

there will be a slide with a career and four

clusters

• Have students enter in the chat or say out

loud which cluster they think the career

falls into
