Do your kids have trouble following directions? Or can only remember one task at a time?
Blow up turrets and mines in this top-down shooter. Avoiding getting hit too much or you're dead. Enjoy playing Follow The Leader! The teacher will hang one larger fish with 'I WILL FOLLOW JESUS AND FISH FOR PEOPLE!' FOLLOW ME CHART: The teacher will hang a poster on the wall with the words, 'I WILL FOLLOW JESUS' written at the top. Have the children take turns going to the poster and say, 'I will follow Jesus.' They will write their name on the poster. Toddlers love to imitate adults.If you need something to help get your toddler off the couch and physically active, try a game of follow the leader. Not only will you be helping your toddler develop their large motor skills, but you'll be acting as a positive role model.
Then they need some practice!
The Dodgeball Games section provides you with resources which will help you to plan Dodgeball Games. Each game outlines what equipment is required, how to set the game up, how to play the game and how to differentiate the game. The P/E ratio can help us determine, from a valuation perspective, which of the two is cheaper. If the sector’s average P/E is 15, Stock A has a P/E = 15 and Stock B has a P/E = 30, stock A is cheaper despite having a higher absolute price than Stock B because you pay less for every $1 of current earnings.
Yes, practice. Following directions is a skill that needs practice just like tying your shoes or learning to spell your name.
One of the most fun ways to help kids practice following directions and listening is by playing games. We love to move and learn here so I found 6 following directions games that get kids up and moving!
Following Directions Games:
- Teach Kids to Follow Directions with Relay Races from Coffee Cups and Crayons
- Following Directions Grid Game from Kids Activities Blog
- I Spy from Playing with Words 365
- Following Directions and Listening Game: Teacher Says! from Coffee Cups and Crayons

Following directions is a life skill that kids are expected to have in school, but one that needs frequent practice even as kids get older. Turning that practice into a game makes it fun and is a great way to turn listening and following directions into a habit!
Don’t think your kids will love these games? Then adapt them! If you have a little one who love dinosaurs change it to Dino Races or Stegosaurus Says. Building on their current interests is a great way to get them excited about practicing new skills.
