Transportation Follow Directions Coloring Activity for Listening Comprehension

Item description

Are your students not listening or struggling to follow your directions? Do they need practice reading and following written directions? Use these no-prep, Transportation, follow the directions worksheets to promote fine motor, listening, and reading skills. Great for fun days, centers, workstations, occupational therapy activities or speech therapy sessions, and early finishers or they can be left for a substitute. Just print the worksheets for your students and they are ready to go.

Students must listen to or read the directions to complete the coloring pages correctly. They can also work on handwriting and sentence writing by making directions for their peers.

Use this no prep, transportation, following directions resource to promote listening and reading skills. A great back-to-school activity where students must listen to your directions to complete the pages correctly.

Occupational Therapy (OT) Tip:  Break crayons in half, and use short pencils to promote a fingertip grasp when students are coloring, drawing, or writing.

These worksheets can be printed for use at school or can be sent home. Another option is using Easel by TpT. I have created an interactive version of this resource you can assign to your students within your digital classroom. Students can use the pen and highlighting tool to complete the activity on a screen. Once you purchase the resource you will have access to both the PDF and Easel files.
