Community Sign Hunt
This worksheet will give students the opportunity to notice and discuss various signs around their school community.
Provide each student with a sheet and a clipboard and take a short walk around the school community. Students can tick off any of the signs they see and add any new ones not on the list. Discuss why some of the signs may not be visible around the school. This activity could also be sent home as a homework activity.
