These Monthly Following Directions packets are a fun way to practice listening skills, build vocabulary, and improve visualization and working memory skills! All of these skills are part of a good foundation for learning and the activities in the resource below help develop all of them. These packets are what I wished I had when I was working as a speech-language therapist.
What’s in this month’s following directions packet…
October’s Following Directions Packet: Conjunctions at the Fall Festival contains a scene of kids visiting a fall festival. Your kids will color and draw on the scene while following FIVE different sets of directions. They will love coloring with colored pencils or crayons during this fun hands-on activity.
Your kids will learn that conjunctions connect words and phrases throughout the month. They will also work on following direction words like: top, below, left, and right. There is a challenging set of directions at the end where your children will be asked to listen to two sentences, determine which is true and then follow the related direction.
Modifications are suggested in the instructions to make the activity harder or easier depending on the level of your children so this packet can be used with a variety of ages and skill levels!
And if you have preschool children, check out the pictures with simple directions at the end of the packet for a fun following directions activity that gets them moving! They will focus on pictures of things you find at a library.
First, young children will follow directions to color the pictures. Then, you will give them directions to place the pictures around your home working on vocabulary such as under, behind, in front of, on top, and next to. Preschoolers learn best when they move!
