These Whole Body Listening Cards support students' ability to engage in whole body listening. There are 2 different charts - 1 square space and 3 square spaces. Charts can be printed in colour or black/white.

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Post the chart at the carpet or meeting area, where the whole class can be pointed at it during a transition rather than being told the expectation again in words

  • Cut the poster page down the middle for a desk copy, a folder insert or a small card a student keeps to hand

  • Print the black-and-white version for the copies that go home or into individual folders and keep the colour version for the wall display

Skills covered

  • Classroom display preparation — teachers print and post a whole body listening chart at the carpet or front of the room as a standing reference.

  • Individual visual support — the half-page posters cut down to card size for a student who needs the reminder within reach rather than on the wall.

  • Consistent expectation language — the charts and posters all carry the same sentence, "I Can Show Whole Body Listening!", so the wall display and the desk card say the same thing.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Can the visuals be run off on a mono printer?

Yes. The cover states "Black and white versions included too!", so the posters and the six-card chart are supplied in black and white as well as in colour — useful for the copies that go into folders or home.

Is it meant for the whole class or for one student?

Both. The cover suggests it for the whole class or for students who need extra support remembering whole body listening: the chart works as a wall display, and the half-page posters cut down into desk cards.
