Looking for clever and entertaining as well as effective ways to teach your students how to listen and follow instructions?

To help reinforce the social skills lessons in her children’s book, The WORST Day of My Life EVER!, author Julia Cook has created 24 engaging games and activities teachers can use in their K through 6 classrooms.

In addition to exercising their listening and following instructions skills, students must observe, think, describe, write, and work together to complete these challenging activities. This guide offers a variety of activities ranging from coloring pages and mazes for younger children to games with more complex directions and homework worksheets for older students.

The book provides teacher instructions, offers lists of materials when needed and activity variations and extensions, worksheets, and praise coupons you can use to reward students who demonstrate good listening and following instructions skills. The activity guide also includes a digital content link for access to reproducible pages to use.
