Picture Direction Cards

July 3, 2014 misskindergarten 80 Comments

One of the best things I ever introduced to my students were picture direction cards.ย As I verbally give directions for an assignment, I put up a picture card so that my students know exactly what to do. It really eliminates mistakes and the “what do I do now??” question. I’m sort of obsessed with picture direction cards!ย I can’t even tell you how much they have helped with my lack of patience while giving directions to my class ๐Ÿ˜‰
Honestly, I think this is the best classroom management tool I’ve ever
used in my classroom! I am such a visual person and many of my students
are too, so it really eliminates lots of mistakes for my kiddos who
can’t remember 3-step directions {which lets face it…most of them ;)}.
I adhered a little magnet strip to the back of the pictures so that as I
give my students a direction verbally, I can quickly add a direction
icon to the board. I *finally* got smart enough to add numbers to my
icons so that I don’t have to write them anymore. My kids really love
them too!
I created a card for almost any direction you can imagine!

I also had several requests to create some in Spanish for those teachers who teach in a dual language class. {thank you to my Spanish speaking friends for your help with these!}

Well I’m excited to announce that I now have these direction icons in bright colors, primary colors and black and white! You can check them out by clicking on each image below.

By now you know @applesandabcs is my best friend a By now you know @applesandabcs is my best friend and I just canโ€™t help but share how extremely talented she is! I am lucky enough to work side by side with her as we run @targetteachers and @enchantedlittlelearners together and figure out how to raise and teach our two little kiddos in the middle of a pandemic ๐Ÿคช These sensory bins she created are an awesome mix of fun, fine motor, and learning and I love to use them at home just as much as I loved using them in my classroom! If you donโ€™t follow Michelle yet, get on that! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ #saturdayteachershare
