rate my rating

I need examples of non-pain picture rating scales.
I work with a low literacy/low numeracy population. Sometimes, I want them to rate something - between 1 and 10 is fine, or very bad / bad / neutral / good / very good is fine. But the ranking isn't one they're familiar with, and I'd like to figure out how to best do this ranking / Likert / whatever.
I'd like examples of scales that can be represented pictorially. What they measure isn't so important, but I don't need them to rate pain - that is covered elsewhere with picture and child scales.
My internet access is terrible, so my research ability has been limited!

Perhaps you’re already aware of the Garfield scale?

How about a simple red to green scale? Perhaps you could add a thumbs up/thumbs down at either end.
