🎥 Bring Videos to Life with 25 Engaging Activities

Virtual job shadowing videos are powerful — but their impact grows when paired with the right activities. This article provides 25 creative ways to turn passive viewing into active career exploration. Many take just 10–20 minutes, so you can integrate them without overhauling your schedule.

 

You’ll find strategies for 3 phases of video use:

  • Pre-viewing: quizzes, prediction charts, skills inventories, question prompts to set context

  • During viewing: structured observation guides, quote capture, skills spotting, cultural detective sheets

  • Post-viewing: reflections, career-mapping, challenge analysis, pathway research, and more

Each activity includes estimated durations and suggested age groups to help you plan with ease.
