Start the School Year with Listening Activities for Kids!

At the beginning of a new school year, it’s always tough to get your students back into the swing of things. They’ve been out of the classroom for weeks, and following directions is always a skill that needs to be revisited at the beginning of the year.

Our teacher team has found a fun way to blend art and listening skills with this printable pack of listen-and-draw worksheets.

A Great Lead-in to Whole Body Listening!

Use this teaching resource to refine listening skills. We recommend exercises like these at the beginning of the year to help ease your students into the concept of whole-body listening.

This free resource includes four different scenes for students to use and instruction scripts for the teacher. After distributing the scene to students, the teacher reads the appropriate script, pausing after each instruction to allow time for students to complete it. Students add to the scene in various ways – by colouring, writing words or drawing an item.

As this activity is designed to improve listening skills, the goal is for students to hear each instruction once only.
