Volume Control: Picture Cards for Primary and Secondary School

The volume control for primary school consists of picture cards showing the voice levels “No Talking,” “Whisper Voice,” “Indoor Voice,” and “Outdoor Voice.” At a glance, learners can see whether silence, whispering, or speaking louder is required and adjust their voices accordingly.

What is included in the material

• Picture cards with animals: each voice level with its own animal picture and label, in large and small formats
• Picture cards with speaker symbols: the voice levels shown as speakers with sound waves, “No Talking” crossed out; the large cards without labels, the smaller ones with the name of the level
• Arrows in different colors

Tips for using the material

• Display the volume: The arrow can be used to indicate which volume level is currently required on the cards.

These skills are promoted

• Adjust voice volume to the displayed level
• Interpret symbols by recognizing the levels in the animal pictures or speaker symbols

To complement this: a quiet signal for the classroom, a card to make silence in the classroom visible, and non-verbal signals in the classroom.
