🧹🧺 Following Directions During Cleanup Routines
Cleanup time is more than tidying up — it’s a great opportunity to help children practice listening, following directions, and sequencing in a real-life setting.
🧸 Try this during cleanup:
🔹 Give clear, simple directions: “Put the blocks in the box.”
🔹 Start with one step, then build to two steps
🔹 Use visuals or gestures to support understanding
🔹 Pause and wait to give your child time to respond
💬 Helpful prompts:
“What goes first?”
“Where does this belong?”
“What do we do next?”
Practicing directions during everyday routines builds independence, comprehension, and confidence — all through meaningful daily tasks 🌱
