Play barrier games with your child (put a barrier between you the players so that they can’t see what the other person is doing). Practise understanding and giving directions, for example take turns giving directions to colour in a picture the same way. Check the pictures at the end and decide whether they are the same or not.
Make it easier: break down the directions into shorter sentences.
Make it harder: take turns to give instructions to each other. Start with a blank piece of paper and get them to draw a picture or shapes based on your instructions.
