During our sessions, I do a lot of following directions activities. As adults, we give and follow directions every day.
I wanted to make it more practical for my kiddos though so I downloaded an actual map of our small town from bing.maps.com and made symbols to place in various locations. The kids think it’s neat to follow some of the roads they may have heard of. This activity can be challenging to many of my students so I typically start off with a close-up version of a map with only a few streets on it.
Print off multiple copies of it and hand one to each student. I then place 2-3 cut-out community pictures and have them follow my directions (receptive language) or communicate to me how to get to a place (expressive language). See mine HERE
Come as you are. Leave encouraged.
I'd love for you to join my newsletter family so that I can start sending weekly encouragement as well as access to an entire library of free resources like this Student Self-Progress Report Sheet!
