Description
Are your students not listening or struggling to follow your directions? Do your occupational therapy students need practice with handwriting or reading and following written directions? These no prep follow the directions color sheets were designed for my occupational therapy students to work on their fine motor goals. Use these no-prep, follow the directions coloring page worksheets and activities to promote fine motor, handwriting, listening, and reading skills. Enhance your students' listening, reading, and fine motor skills with these comprehensive Following Directions activities.
Perfect for addressing challenges in listening comprehension, handwriting, and visual-motor coordination, these no-prep worksheets provide engaging activities for speech sessions, occupational therapy activities, special education lessons, morning work, earlier finishers, and more. Your students will enhance their direction-following skills by completing coloring pages based on step-by-step oral or written instructions. The teacher-led oral direction pages can be easily modified into engaging lessons for following 2-step or multi step directions or instructions. This bundle covers various themes, that can be used throughout the entire school year.
Encourage a fingertip grasp with shortened crayons and pencils, promoting optimal motor skills during coloring, drawing, or writing activities.
The bundle offers more than 65 direction following activities in three coloring page styles—one with separate directions for reading aloud and the other with directions directly on the page for independent reading, as well as one where students write their own directions.
Elevate the challenge by combining two directions into multi-step tasks, fostering advanced listening skills.
Make learning enjoyable with additional gross motor brain breaks, incorporating exercises like squats or jumps after each direction. Whether in small groups, the whole classroom, or occupational therapy sessions, these versatile worksheets are perfect for honing receptive language, following directions, and other essential listening and reading skills. Turn reading comprehension into an engaging journey with this Following Directions Bundle!
What is Included in the Following Instructions Activity PDFs?
Two to three styles of coloring pages are included:
- directions on a separate page that can be read to the group by an adult or peer.
- directions on the page for students to read and complete.
- students write their own directions for a peer to follow
Want to Extend or Change the Activity?
- Make it a gross motor brain break by adding an exercise after each direction. “Circle the tree then do 10 squats.” or “Draw 2 clouds in the sky then do 10 jumps.”
- Consider changing my directions for more of a challenge. “Color the tree blue.” or “Draw a hat on the dog.”
- Make it a mult-step direction following activity be combining directions or adding your own.
