This resource is for those that are wanting to improve their vocabulary skills around Health and Safety. Often the words in policies and documentation are not clear and straightforward. This is a fun way to learn. Can be used as a lesson starter, or as a review at the end of the lesson (exit ticket).
These flash cards can be used individually, with pairs, teams or groups of learners.
Teams compete to find the correct word that is a best fit for the definitions. Ask them to write 1-12 or 1-4 on a piece of paper or device. If you have less time use the slides that contain 4 words only.
Time learners and ask them to write their answers down for their pair, team or group.
Once the time is up, click on each square to reveal the correct answer. (answers may differ and this provides an good opportunity for discussion – however to get a point, the team must have the word that is listed on the screen).
Tally up the correct results to find a winner!

When planning a project at work or school, it's important to get team members prepared for their roles, tasks and responsibilities within the team.
The resources contained in the bundle are all you need to help you accomplish this. The three that I would start with are:

Workplace issues: Brainstorm, problem Solve and Create Smart goals
Team collaboration - important for all to understand how teams work.
These resources are tried and tested in the workplace by my learners with amazing results for project outcomes.
This resource contains 3 templates. One for responding to a job vacancy and two CV templates. The two CV templates are for you to fill out with your own information. The structure and format have been provided, all you have to do is input the relevant details.
The cover letter is proven and tested. All that use it have got the interview.
Remember, when applying for a job, ensure that you customise the letter to suit the advertisement / job description.

This is a 20 slide powerpoint presentation that tackles the subject of Workplace Diversity. Our workplaces are made up of many different races, cultures and languages.

Tips for improving handwriting
I often hear people say that they hate their handwriting, or that no one can read it. It is such an important part of communication. Even with email and the internet being a big part of written communication you cannot replace the benefit of a hand written note or message on a card. Not to mention that many workplace forms still need to be filled out manually and it is so important that the writing is clear.
I have used this in my workplace training sessions and learners have enjoyed it and noticed improvements within 10 days of practice. I wanted to get away from all the babyish resources that are just not appropriate to teach adults with.
I hope you enjoy this.
Lesson Starter / Warmup
Start the lesson with a fun dice game focussing on Personal Protective Equipment.

Finish off with a fun crossword puzzle that reinforces the same words learnt previously.
Lots of room for discussion in these topics.

This is a 8 page workbook that introduces the topic of the Johari Window. This is a widely used model for understanding and training in a variety of self-awareness dependent activities such as: personal development, communications, interpersonal relationships, group dynamics, team development and inter-group relationships.
I use this as a team building exercise, particularly when teams need to build trust so that they can move to a high performing phase. It is also beneficial to find out more about yourself and how others see you generally.
A worksheet is included for participants to gain insights into the different quadrants and where they fit within these.
