Survival Sign Worksheets

Give written practice in learning the functional meanings of important signage at home, at work, and in the community. Signs are introduced in groups of five. As participants become familiar with the first group, additional signs are added. After 10 signs have been covered, review worksheets mix up the signs for more challenging practice. This process is continued until all 80 signs are taught and reviewed. The worksheets help participants learn to recognize the international symbols and/or the written words on the survival signs. Tasks include match the sign, circle the sign, circle the word, and complete the sign. Large illustrations of signs help participants with limited reading skills understand the meaning of signs in their community.

Indoor signs worksheets assist individuals in recognizing survival signs they need to know when choosing a restroom, determining wheelchair accessibility of a building, entering or leaving a store, using stairs or elevators, approaching a wet floor, exiting a building during a fire drill or actual fire, locating a water fountain, using the escalator at a hotel, and more.

Outdoor signs worksheets assist individuals in recognizing survival signs they need to know when walking in the neighborhood or community, helping the driver of a vehicle watch for directional signs, crossing parking lots, walking to a bus stop, walking to school, and riding a bicycle.
