Growing up we all have an idea of what career we want to go into. From a very early age we all had ideas of what we wanted to do, that would change along the years. My four year old granddaughter currently wants to be a scientist.
A lot of children want to have a career as chefs or running their own bistro, cafe or restaurant. It is great to have dreams, and we always encouraged our children to follow their dreams. But, we all know this is a hard industry to work in, it is long hours, and a lot of hard work.
I know playing games does not give the real deal when it comes to things like this, but games can be the start of talking about future careers, and what it will entail. Below I have shared a few games that are fun to play.

Sweety Cooking Chocolate Cake
If like mine your kids will love baking, this is a fun game where you collect all the ingredients and bake your very own chocolate cake.
Can I Eat It
You have to choose which item you can and can not eat, although some of the can not eat items I swear mine would have tried at some point as kids do.
Penguin Cafe
This is a faster paced game, where you are a penguin and run a cafe, having to keep customers happy with less wait times for a table and order. This is great for starting conversations on customer service.
Coffee Shop
This is for the older kids, as it teaches about stock control, quality of goods and budgeting. Great fun to really get your mind working and trying to make a profitable business.
Final thoughts
As much as we love to get our kids away from computer screens and out into the fresh air. Sometimes, they can be beneficial as you can see in the above games. They are fun to play and can get you wanting to improve your previous scores. But also in a fun way gives them an insight into life in the real world, where you can discuss all things that you need to know and rely on when starting your own business. Which games did you find to be fun and educational?

My nephews training to be a chef,it’s long hour’s but so rewarding x
It is long hours but is rewarding also
My son has his work experience coming up soon and he is still really not sure what he wants to do. He did mention Chef at one point but who knows today what he will say! It’s a bit like this at the moment with him. A very hard tiring but rewarding job.
It is a very demanding job with long hours, it does take a lot of dedication. I hope he finds what he wants to do my daughter has now decided she wants to work with animals but not sure doing what yet
It is really important to allow your children to follow their dreams no matter what they are and how you do it
It’s my nephews dream – thanks for this
I hope he gets to follow his dreams
