Realistic Theme Self-Reporting Activity

Parent Directions:

• Make sure everyone has a RIASEC Tally organizer and Resource page that reminds
  everyone of what the different RIASEC letters mean.
• Play the video/Show the image.
  o Younger kids might have an easier time completing this activity by looking at
  the final image rather than the video.
  o If you are showing the video, remember that you can stop it along the way or
  show it multiple times.
  o Feel free to have discussions as you go to help your child think about what
  they are seeing/hearing.
• As you watch the video/image, everyone should make a tally mark for each image or
  activity they see that interests or appeals to them. Tally marks should be made in the
  hexagon.
• Everyone should count up their tally marks and discuss:
  o Does everyone in the family have a similar number of tally marks?
  o What were some of the activities/jobs you saw/heard that were most
  interesting? Which were not interesting?
