Greetings!
It's been a while since we sent out a newsletter to our full mailing list so we thought we'd do a recap on all things Panjango to let you know what we've been working on recently to expand our world of experiential learning...
Resource Bank expansion...
Our Resource Bank is now a year old! Over the course of the year, we've rapidly expanded it from a core selection of resources to a much wider range of more than 150 different teaching resources and careers games - including a full careers Scheme of Work. The Resource Bank now includes resources exploring:
- Topics - mapping every topic of KS3 Maths, English and Science to work-related challenges to connect careers and the curriculum
- Skills - developing key skills such as creativity, confidence and communication
- Careers - exploring individual careers in contextualised, interactive ways
- Sectors - exploring a dozen careers within each sector
- Journeys - guided journeys through exciting 'real world' scenarios such as an earthquake or virus outbreak
- Issues - resources exploring important issues such as climate change, knife crime or mental health
- Events - themed resources exploring key events in the calendar such as Christmas or Black History Month
- Activities - other worksheets, interactive resources and simple games bringing careers to life in entertaining and engaging ways
In addition, we have our two digital careers games - Panjango Choices and Panjango Top 10s - offering fun and game-based ways of reflecting on future life choices and exploring careers information including LMI.
The initial phase of our Scheme of Work includes 15 core lessons and a growing range of optional lessons and it will continue to be expanded for KS2, KS3 and KS4 over time. The scheme incorporates the best content from The Real Game for which Panjango was given an exclusive license to update and repurpose.
It costs just £120 +VAT for an Annual Subscription to the Resource Bank - but use the link below to save 20% off your school's subscription today.
Tabletop careers games...
Our board and card games continue to be incredibly popular with teachers and students alike - with our Panjango Trumps games now being the two best-selling products with Optimus Education for the third year running - and The Panjango Game is in the top 10 of all products too!
Here's a quick recap on our games which connect learning to life and make it fun for children to explore the world of work...
Panjango Trumps
Our unique twist on the classic trumps game pits 50 different careers against each other in a battle of stats. The categories include Brain Power, Social Good, Physical Effort, Expected Salary, Study & Training and Robot Risk (the risk of the job becoming automated).
£9.99 - click here for more information
Who fancies becoming a Climate Engineer? How about a Virtual Sportsperson? Or even a Mars Colony Manager? This game allows children to explore 50 weird and wonderful jobs of the future - everything from Rewilder to Robot Repairer, or Martian Botanist to Memory Surgeon!
£9.99 - click here for more information
The Panjango Game
A fast-moving, quick-thinking challenge game exploring the world of work! Up to six players race to complete quick-fire challenges including Acting Out, Story Chains, Unscramble or Disaster Plans, as their knowledge and skills are put to the test in work-related scenarios.

World of Work poster...
We've designed a vibrant new A2 World of Work poster to introduce students to 50 different careers across 14 sectors of the economy.
The poster will offer young people an exciting snapshot of the world of work.
Our new World of Work poster is just £9.99 and can be ordered here.
Panjango Online expansion...
Last but certainly not least. Over the summer, we've been working on a BIG update and expansion of Panjango Online!
We're in the final stages of this expansion which includes...
- a mass of new content covering hundreds of new careers
- addition of localised areas featuring some really exciting employers
- a host of interface improvements to make the user experience even better
We'll be in touch again soon with more details specifically about this expansion but, in the meantime, if you would like to register for FREE then just go to www.panjango.online.
Our future plans...
We'll be continuing to explore ways to expand our world of experiential learning with new games and resources - and already have some exciting ideas in development!
We're also aiming to stay in touch much more often to provide more regular updates, help you get the most from the Panjango products you use in your school, and offer some useful insights into experiential learning to help you connect learning to life in your classroom.
Catch up soon,
Jon Maiden
Co-Founder of Panjango
