Looking for simple, effective following directions practice for second grade? The Follow Directions Worksheet is a ready-to-print social studies resource that students can complete on their own after a short introduction.

Learning objective: Students will review following directions, practice it in context, and show what they know in a way that is easy for the teacher to check.

How it's organized: The page opens with these directions: "Read each sentence. Draw the colored shape in the right box." Students then complete the practice items in order and check their work before turning it in.
