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!

Move on to a mix and match group activity exploring common words taken from H&S Policies .
Then use the interactive digital challenge with questions to uncover an image. (competitive and fun for pairs and teams).

Each team picks a number and answers a question. (Questions and answers are provided in the worksheet).
If they answer the question correctly, then they can click on a number on the PowerPoint presentation to display a portion (square) of the picture in the background. The background picture is slowly revealed.
The first team to identify the background picture wins.

6. If a match is not made, they turn the cards back over and the next person has their turn.
7. When a match is made the learner keeps the two cards.

Don't over communicate by email.
