WINNER IS KALEB HALL (#129) - CONGRATULATIONS! Thanks to all who played along (and thanks random.org for your random integer generator!)
Shannon at Bloggy Giveaways is hosting a giveaway link-fest, and I’m giving away a Career Expedition boardgame, produced by my company - Empowering Youth, Inc.
Career Expedition is a fun and interactive board game that generates a discussion about career decision-making. The perfect tool for school counselors, teachers, homeschoolers and parents, Career Expedition is the game you will use to encourage youth to discover keys to their personal career planning process.
Players read realistic examples of choices young people make during the career preparation process, as well as cards which guide players through their personal career planning process. It’s ideal for students in 6th-12th grades.
To be included in the drawing, please just click over to the Career Expedition boardgame page on my company site and click on the “sample cards” links next to the photo. Then come back here and tell me which cards you liked the best. You can participate even if you don’t have a blog. Just make sure you leave a working email when you leave your comment. A winner will be chosen at random on Friday, November 2. Thanks for participating!
Also check out our Think It, Ink It giveaway this week!

Great game! I really liked the card where you and a friend loose tokens for slacking!
10:03 pm
I think the part about asking kids how they would spend their days…really getting them to think about what floats their boat!
11:20 pm
I like the Work Preference card.. Would You More enjoy working inside or outside? Why Do You Think so?

I like the interest card about what you would do with your day. I didn’t have much career guidance as a child. As a homeschooler, I hope to help my children focus on their likes and abilities when they are thinking about future careers. This would make an awesome Christmas gift!
2:08 pm
What a great way to get them thinking about their future. I have six kids - two are teens.
I’d love to have this game. My favorite cards were the one about the interests and the slacker one.

11:11 am
I like the “difference between college and tech school” card. Please enter me!
11:33 am
I love the discovery cards, especially the how would you like to spend your day. I think all the questions could really help lead someone to a job they actually enjoy.

I think the card that asks “do you like working inside or outside” would really get my daughter thinking about different career options. What a great game! We homeschool our oldest, who is 13, and we were just talking last week about her future and what she wants to do (she has no idea!).
Count me in! Great contest!
2:19 pm

10:12 pm
Hi! I like this card: “If you could choose how you would spend a day, would you choose to go to a friend’s house, surf the internet or create something?” and this card: “You and your friend slack off on the career unit because you don’t think it will effect your grade much.” I like these because they represent something that I think kids really need to consider when making wise choices.
Thanks for hosting this contest!
p.s. when emailing, please remove ‘NOSPAM’ from my email address before sending. thanks!
10:12 pm
very cool and educational game
I like the one where you attend a youth leadership seminar and
and meet lots of people and learn more about yourself
11:14 pm
Cool game concept!
11:31 pm
I liked the card asking you to choose the way you would like to spend your day… with a friend, surfing the internet, or create something.
Thanks!

Wow…all those cards are really thought provoking. As a avid crafter I liked the card that asked if you’d rather surf the net or create something. I would definately rather get together with friends to create something. Thank you for doing a giveaway!
7:52 am
I LOVE this game. My fave would be “Do you like to work inside or outside?” I LOVE helping my kids to follow their passions.
OOOOOOohhhhhhhh … I hope I win this sucker!
9:07 am
Wow! Liked them all! I really like the slacking and procrastinating cards, though. Great game idea!
9:23 am
What a great game! I like the Discovery cards. What a great way to get conversations going about what the kids are interested in and possible career paths.
9:34 am
What an amazing game! And I KNOW you said go look at the Career Expedition Game (which both sets of cards are great), but I peeked at the Hidden Treasure of Assets game, since my kids are younger. I KNOW the age on it says 3-6 grade, but I really think something like this would be GREAT for preschoolers-K. You are doing a GREAT thing with these games!
9:59 am
Very cool! WOW! What a great time this is. Enter me please!

12:22 pm
I like how this teaches about different kinds of colleges and encourages kids to learn about what they want to do. Oh, and come over for my mary kay giveaway too!
1:44 pm
I like the “early deadline” card because I am such a procrastinator. My high school guidance counselor had to drive my application to the college because I had put it off for so long. I hope to raise my children to be more proactive than I was.
6:00 pm
I loved the question about how to spend their days. Great one!!

7:36 pm
I like the slacking and procrastinating cards!
Cool game!
8:22 pm
I like the Discovery cards as they actually lend toward introspection and interaction.
8:57 pm
I’d have to say the question about how you’d spend your day b/c they say that you if you do what you really love, you won’t ever really work a day in your life. Wish I could get there!!
10:32 pm
I would be thankful to have it.
6:41 am
I love that the questions really make them think beyond the “what do you want to be when you grow up?” standard. I particularly liked giving them three choices as to how they’d spend their day.
I don’t yet have teenagers in my family, but I teach a teen class at church and this would be a great discussion tool for them!
