Community Signs Vocabulary Matching Activity for Functional Learning

Let’s go step by step to match each sign with its correct definition.

We’ll look at each picture and think about what it means in real life — then find the matching description.

---

Left Column (Pictures):

1. Blue square with white “H” and arrow pointing up
→ This is a hospital sign. It tells drivers there’s a hospital ahead, usually with an arrow showing direction.
✔ Matches: *“This sign lets people know there is a hospital ahead.”*

2. Blue square with white bus icon
→ This is a bus stop or bus route sign. But wait — looking at the definitions, none say “bus stop.” Let’s check again. Actually, this might be for a park-and-ride or transit area? Wait — let’s hold off and check others first.

Wait — actually, looking more carefully:

The third picture on left is green with “PARK & RIDE” and icons of car + bus → that’s clearly for carpooling/parking to meet others.

So maybe the blue bus sign is for something else?

Actually — let’s reorganize.

Better approach: Look at all pictures and all definitions together.

List of Pictures (from both columns):

From Left Page:
A. Blue H sign → Hospital
B. Blue Bus sign → ?
C. Green Park & Ride → Carpooling/meeting spot
D. Red “KEEP OUT / TRESPASSING” → Warning not to enter

From Right Page:
E. Blue sign with gas pump + fork/knife + arrow → Food/gas ahead
F. Yellow diamond with bus + person walking → School bus stop / children crossing
G. Orange emergency phone box → Emergency phone location
H. White button with “PUSH BUTTON FOR WALK SIGNAL” → Crosswalk signal button

Now list of Definitions (mixed from both pages):

1. “This sign lets people know there is a hospital ahead.” → A
2. “This sign warns people not to go past or go into certain area.” → D (Keep Out)
3. “This sign lets people know where to park and meet for carpooling.” → C (Park & Ride)
4. “This sign lets people know there are fast food diners and restaurants up ahead to eat at.” → E (gas + food symbols)
5. “This sign lets pedestrians know where to wait for a school bus, and for drivers to be cautious of children crossing.” → F (yellow diamond with bus + kid)
6. “This sign lets pedestrians know to push a button to trigger the walk signal at a crosswalk.” → H (push button sign)
7. “This sign lets people know where an emergency phone is located.” → G (orange phone box)
8. What’s left? The blue bus sign (B) — but we don’t have a definition that says “bus stop”... Wait — did we miss one?

Wait — let’s count:

There are 8 pictures total? Let me recount:

Left page has 4 pictures:
- H sign
- Bus sign
- Park & Ride
- Keep Out

Right page has 4 pictures:
- Gas/Food sign
- Yellow school/bus warning
- Emergency phone
- Push button

That’s 8 pictures.

Definitions: Also 8? Let’s list them as written:

From left page definitions (partially cut off):
- “THIS SIGN LETS PEOPLE KNOW THERE IS A HOSPITAL AHEAD.” → ✔️
- “THIS SIGN WARNS PEOPLE NOT TO GO PAST OR GO INTO CERTAIN AREA.” → ✔️
- “THIS SIGN LETS PEOPLE KNOW WHERE TO PARK AND MEET FOR CARPOOLING.” → ✔️
- “THIS SIGN LE... PEOPLE KN... THERE IS A ... STATION NE...” → Probably “bus station nearby”? But we already used the bus sign? Hmm.

Wait — the fourth definition on left page is cut off: “THIS SIGN LE... PEOPLE KN... THERE IS A ... STATION NE...”

Likely: “This sign lets people know there is a bus station nearby.” → That would match the blue bus sign (picture B).

Then right page definitions:

- “THIS SIGN LETS PEDESTRIANS KNOW WHERE TO WAIT FOR A SCHOOL BUS...” → matches yellow diamond (F)
- “THIS SIGN LETS PEOPLE KNOW THERE ARE FAST FOOD DINERS...” → matches gas/food sign (E)
- “THIS SIGN LETS PEDESTRIANS KNOW TO PUSH A BUTTON...” → matches push button (H)
- “THIS SIGN LETS PEOPLE KNOW WHERE AN EMERGENCY PHONE IS LOCATED.” → matches orange phone (G)

Perfect! So now we can match all.

Final Matching:

Picture → Definition

A (H sign) → “hospital ahead”

B (blue bus) → “bus station nearby” (inferred from partial text)

C (Park & Ride) → “park and meet for carpooling”

D (Keep Out) → “warns not to go into certain area”

E (gas + food) → “fast food diners and restaurants ahead”

F (yellow diamond) → “wait for school bus / caution children crossing”

G (emergency phone) → “emergency phone located”

H (push button) → “push button to trigger walk signal”

All matched!
