4 Why We Should Listen Directions for the teacher: Each child will need a copy of this page, a pencil, and a pink, blue, and red crayon. The teacher should say to the children: I would like you to listen very carefully and do exactly what I tell you to do to the picture of the rabbit. When we are finished with this page you will understand why it is so important to be a good listener. 1. Print your name on the line. 2. We listen with our ears. Color the rabbit s ears pink. 3. When we listen, we should look at the person who is talking. Draw blue circles around the rabbit s eyes to help us remember to look. 4. We should stop what we are doing when someone talks. Color the stop sign red to help us remember to stop what we are doing and listen to what is being said. If we don t understand what they are saying we should ask them to repeat it. 5. Turn off distractions so we can be better listeners. Put an X on the radio and television to remind us to turn off extra noise. 6. Ask the children if they can remember some of the good listening suggestions. KE Key Education 7 Listen, Look, and Do!
