Following directions coloring

Following Directions Speech Therapy Activities - Plus a Free Download

Share on:

I know that a lot of my students have found coloring to be an engaging and calming activity. I also know that in one of my school-based positions, I had A LOT of students working on auditory comprehension goals – so I was always on the lookout for following directions speech therapy activities to use!

Following Directions Speech Therapy Activities and Worksheets

So now I just create my own Following Directions Coloring Activities! I wanted something that included a range of directions including simple one-step directions, directions with 1-2 modifiers, 2-step directions, and temporal directions (e.g. first/then, before you X, color Y).

The first one I created was this “Around the House” set of coloring pages with directions for any time of the year. And now I am adding seasonal resources such as

Back-to-School Following Directions Coloring Activity
Fall Following Directions Activity
Halloween Following Directions Coloring Activity
Thanksgiving Following Directions Coloring Activity
Christmas Following Directions Coloring
Winter Following Directions Coloring Activity
Valentine’s Day Following Directions Coloring Worksheets
Spring Following Directions Speech Therapy Activity
Summer Following Directions Worksheets
Here’s a bundle of all of them at a discount

Using a Following Directions Visual in Speech Therapy Sessions

Before starting an activity, I like to go over strategies for increasing auditory comprehension skills such as:

Get Ready to Listen
- Still Body
- Look at speaker
Repeat the directions to yourself or aloud
Visualize yourself doing the actions

Since these students have challenges with auditory comprehension, a visual can really help reinforce these ideas! (The Following Directions Visual Chart is in all of the activities above and in the freebie below. )

10 One-Step Directions – Level 1 (e.g. “Color the door red.”)

“My kindergarten student came up to me and said, ‘Look, my pencil is above my head, now it’s below! I can put it behind me or in front of me!’ He said all of this with such a smile. He was so proud of himself for connecting the concepts we had just worked on in class to his own experience. Yay! I was so proud of him too.”

Antistress coloring pages

Love is one of the most beautiful feelings. All living creatures strive to know it, it is meaning, desire, a way of self-expression. In the conditions of modern life, it is very easy to lose the ability to experience this feeling. We overcome all sorts of difficulties for a long time and painfully, selflessly take new heights in our careers, studies, and relationships. But if after another victory in the soul there is only apathy and devastation, then was the game worth the candle? And is everything in order in our lives? Or was something very important lost in the race, namely love? The one without which there is no meaning in all our actions and deeds. Without which there will be no lightness and desire in life. This book is designed to help in the return of meaning to all life processes. By coloring and painting mandalas, following all the instructions of Vilata Voznesenskaya, you will very quickly feel a surge of strength and positive emotions, attract love in all its manifestations into your life. nine0003

Color by number for girls!

Color by number is a very fun activity that also has many benefits for children's development. Let's talk about the benefits of coloring by numbers and see why they are useful for children, at home or in the classroom.

Number recognition.
Children need to match the number on the color key with the picture and then color only those numbers. Coloring by numbers is great for recognizing numbers, as well as realizing that numbers can be used for something other than counting. nine0003

Follow instructions.
Throughout your child's life, he or she will need to follow instructions. The better the child understands this process, the easier it will be for him to follow the instructions to achieve the final goal.

Fine motor skills.
Color by number helps kids develop fine motor skills that will help them with reading and writing. It also helps kids improve hand-eye coordination as well as tool skills.

Focus. nine0141 Color by number helps focus. Children need to focus and concentrate to make sure they color the correct number according to the correct color.

Finishing what we started.
The children are asked to complete the painting to see the end result. This creates a sense of accomplishment as well as pride in oneself.
