D2.3 Demonstrates coordination and control of large muscles

D3.3: Demonstrates and continues to develop positive relationships with significant adults

Social/ Emotional- This week we are reviewing is 5.

Week 5 Following Direction

Play Time

Play a game with your child to practice repeating directions.

Say: We’re going to play Repeat After Me. I will ask you to clear something from the table. You will repeat what I say and then do it.

Pick up two forks from the table and put them on the kitchen counter. Wait for your child to repeat and follow the directions. When your child repeats and follows the directions correctly, it is his or her turn to give the directions.

Family members can take turns giving, repeating, and following directions until the table is cleared!
