Selected Default Gakuva

Giving and following instructions means practising the idea at the table with a short text or prompt and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.

Materials: A short prompt card or picture; Timer or turn tokens (optional). 1. Say the goal of Giving and following instructions in plain words once. 2. Adult models a clear spoken turn: claim + one reason. 3. Child gives three spoken turns (answer, reason, or reply) and listens once between turns. 4. Fresh check: one fresh spoken turn with a reason. Record and stop. Done: three clear spoken turns with a reason each. Proof: parent note of examples and results. Stop: End after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding

  • Follow four spoken instructions in order (e.g. to make a paper aeroplane) and ask a question if a step is unclear
  • Give a partner clear step-by-step instructions using order words (first, next, then, finally) to draw a simple picture
  • Check a partner's result and explain which instruction needs changing to be clearer
“If you give your child three or four steps — like 'get your shoes, then your hat, then wait at the door' — can they follow them in order, and give clear instructions to someone else?”
