Fun with listening exercises

Drama / Role play

Surprise your children with some unusual instructions and reward them for listening closely.

Goal: Practice listening skills.

Introduce extra hilarity into your listening exercises by throwing some “curve balls” at your kids, rewarding them for following instructions. For example, you might say something like, “Place your ear on the table if you would like chocolate ice cream for dessert. Place your chin on the table if you would prefer vanilla ice cream.”
