When Is a Good Time to Use the Follow the Multistep Directions Activity Packet?
These realistic coloring pages are a great fun day class filler with a purpose. They also work for centers, morning work, workstations, occupational therapy activities or speech therapy sessions, early finishers or they can be left for a substitute. Images are suitable for older elementary or middle school special education students.
A great activity for back-to-school or any time you need to review direction-following skills. You can also have a peer or the student read the directions as well. Students work on following step-by-step oral or written directions.
What is Included in the Follow the Multistep Directions Activity Packet?
Pictures have very simple backgrounds for context. Sixteen directions are included for each of the 18 pictures on a separate sheet of paper with a picture for reference. You decide which directions work best for your students. You can combine two or more directions and give them as multi-step if your students can handle the challenge. Change the color and make it more abstract like color the pumpkins blue or the dog green.
Scenes include camping, winter, spring, summer, fall, bedroom, kitchen, laundry room, living room, bathroom, dining room, house, firehouse, post office, police station, dentist office, and waiting room. Great for classroom brain breaks when you add a gross motor movement after each direction.
Occupational Therapy (OT) Tip: Break crayons in half, and use short pencils to promote a fingertip grasp when students are coloring, drawing, or writing.
Ideas to Modify the Following Instructions Activities.
- Directions are one and two steps, but you can easily add a step to the listening directions.
- Focus on spatial skills and highlight the directions that include prepositions.
- Make it a gross motor brain break with an added exercise to complete after you give the directions.
