What is Included in the Winter Following Directions Packet?

This digital download includes:

• Two styles of coloring pages – one has directions on a separate page that can be read to the group by an adult or peer, the other has directions on the page for students to read and complete.
• There are five styles of each design.

Directions are one step, but you can easily add a step to the listening directions.

Want to Extend or Change the Activity?

Make it a gross motor brain break by adding an exercise after each direction.  “Circle the snowman then do 10 squats.” or “Draw 2 clouds in the sky then do 10 jumps.”

Consider changing my directions for more of a challenge.  “Color the sun blue.” or “Draw a hat on the dog”
