Help children develop their listening skills and prepare for formal learning. Activities teach children to focus, interpret, recall, organize, and carry out multiple tasks in order.

These listening activities begin with simple, single directions and progressively include more complex, multiple directions.

Also included are teacher-directed physical activities in which children are instructed to move in single or multiple ways. These practices, along with the rhythm clapping suggestions, lend themselves well to getting everyone's attention and bringing a group together.
