BENEFITS OF THE SCHOOL FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS PACKET
Use these engaging community helper-themed, no-prep, follow-the-directions worksheets to promote fine motor, listening comprehension, and reading skills. Great for occupational therapy activities or speech therapy sessions, early finishers, or a fun activity with a purpose in the classroom. You can also use them as a classroom brain break when you add a gross motor movement after each direction.
An excellent listening activity where students must listen to the directions to complete the picture. Students must listen to or read the directions to complete the coloring pages correctly. You can combine two directions and give them as multi-step if your students can handle the challenge.
What is Included in the Following Instructions Activity PDFs?
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.

There are 5 several styles of each design.
Directions are one step, but you can easily add a step to the listening directions.
