On the first page the word is listed with a plain English definition to the right. The next two pages contain cut outs so that a mix and match activity can take place with learners. This is suitable for those with low levels of literacy and / or English as a second language learners. I have put this into practice and it has been very well received within the workplace.

Workplace issues: Brainstorm, problem Solve and Create Smart goals
Team collaboration - important for all to understand how teams work.

Start the lesson with a fun dice game focussing on Personal Protective Equipment.
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).
Ensure learners know about the forms to use in the workplace and when to use them with the Workplace Incident / Accident / Near Miss lesson and the Template to be filled in when an incident occurs.
Finish off with a fun crossword puzzle that reinforces the same words learnt previously.
Lots of room for discussion in these topics.

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!
