A big part of life skills class, is training to be able to read and respond to survival signs in the community. Among other things, we like to use the Survival Words curriculum from Remedia Publications. It gives many good vocabulary words and starts many a conversations about what to do when you see certain signs.
A really fun activity is MAKING survival signs. The whole top half of my classroom is covered in signs my students have made. It's all about being hands-on. If you make a "No Loitering" sign, you are more prone to remember what it is and what is means.
