Shapes, Symbols, Colors

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an interactive tool designed to deepen students’ understanding of safety sign symbols and their significance. Below the title, an explanatory note describes how safety signs use a combination of shape, symbols, and colors to communicate messages. Two examples are provided: a red circle with a slash indicates prohibition, and a yellow triangle signifies a warning requiring attention. These examples serve as a reference for the main activity.

The main task on the worksheet involves creative thinking: students are prompted to draw two types of safety signs. One box instructs students to create a sign that tells people not to do something, incorporating what they’ve learned about prohibition symbols. The second box asks them to design a sign that warns people about something, using the warning symbol guidelines. This drawing activity not only reinforces the students’ comprehension of the universal language of safety signs but also engages their creativity and helps them understand the critical role these signs play in everyday safety. The exercise is a blend of learning and application, encouraging students to think about how signs can effectively convey important messages to maintain safety in various environments.
