Warehouse Order Picking Work Task Box: a hands-on vocational work task box for secondary SEND, post-16, and job skills programmes. Students print, cut, and work through three levels on their own while you take accuracy data.
Why I made this: Warehouse and stockroom jobs come up a lot for my students, and the work is mostly reading codes carefully. A student who can read B-2-4 and not grab B-4-2 is a student a supervisor can trust. This box lets students practice the reading and the checking at a table before they are walking real aisles. The short picks are on purpose. On a real job, an empty bin is normal, and the right move is to write it up and tell someone, not to grab something close.
What's included:
• Level A: 12 one-item pick tickets
• Level B: 24 three-item pick tickets
• Level C: 24 five-item pick tickets with quantities, including 3 short picks
• 4 shelf grid mats (one per aisle, 12 bins each) and 48 item cards
• 3 EMPTY BIN cards and short-pick slips for Level C
• 1 page on reading location codes and 1 location grid page
• 3 practice pages, one for each level
• Answer key for every ticket and practice page
• Data sheet and a 10-session accuracy graph
• A plan for trying it for real at school, with a 5-item supervisor check
• Blank tickets and blank item cards
How I use it: Set up the four shelf grid mats with the 48 item cards. At Level A, students pull one item by its exact code. At Level B, they pick 3 items and check each one off. At Level C, they pick 5 items with quantities. Three bins are empty at Level C, so students write 0 and fill out a short-pick slip. Students check their picks against the ticket codes (cover codes with tape if they peek), and you record accuracy and prompt level.
