Following Directions-Move Your Body!

This following directions activity is great for working on 1 or 2 step directions. Real pictures are used to keep students engaged. For less visual support, use the Just Words cards. These are for students working on reading or relying on listening skills without visual help.

Laminate, then cut out boards/cards. Attach a velcro dot to the middle of the boards and on the back of cards. Mix them up and have fun!

This resource includes:

One 1-step Direction Board: For students working on following 1-step directions.

One 2-step Direction Board: Some students follow only one direction out of a two step direction. This provides visual support in completing both elements of the direction.
