Product description
From the author
This three-page LEGO-themed lesson uses paper coloring to practise following directions. Prepare a hidden colored model, review the look-listen-do routine, and give spoken instructions. If time allows, partners take turns describing their own figures behind privacy boards.
The PDF includes teacher directions with a video link, a guided practice page and a folded partner page. Supply coloring tools and privacy boards. Actual LEGO bricks are not needed.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Follow multi-step spoken instructions using the look, listen, do routine
Apply attentive listening while colouring a Lego person to match directions given aloud
Give a partner clear step-by-step colouring directions during the paired version of the game
Teaching tips
Colour the teacher master ahead of the lesson and keep it hidden from students, as the first direction specifies, so instruction-giving can start straight away
Queue the linked video clip in advance — it is the planned hook between the tips discussion and the instruction-giving
Set up privacy boards for the partner round, which the directions name so pairs cannot see each other's colouring while giving instructions
Skills covered
Following directions — students colour a Lego person step by step to match spoken instructions from the teacher.
Attentive listening — the printed look-listen-do routine (look at the speaker, listen to what they are saying, do the task) frames every round of the game.
Giving clear instructions — in the partner round, each student directs how their own Lego person should be coloured while the partner follows along behind a privacy board.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Do I need actual Lego bricks to run this lesson?
No bricks are involved — the whole activity is paper-based colouring of Lego people. The named extras are colouring supplies, the linked video clip, and privacy boards for the partner round.
How does the partner version of the activity work?
Each student decides how their own Lego person looks, then uses the fold-line page — one space for your Lego person, one for your partner's — while giving colouring directions behind privacy boards so the partner recreates the design by listening alone.
