Design Your Own Sign
This simple worksheet allows students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding that signs give information through symbols and basic text.
You could give students some made-up scenarios to create signs for or allow them to be creative and completely design their own. Students may also choose to design new signs to display around the classroom or school. Remind students that signs often do not have any text and if they do, it is always very clear and simple.
