FREE Listen and Do Auditory Memory Activity: Four Words ... - Free Printable

Let's solve the "Listen and Do Auditory Memory: Transportation" task step by step. This activity is designed to test auditory memory and following directions, where students must listen to instructions and then draw shapes around or near specific vehicles in a grid.

---

🔍 Step-by-Step Solution:

We are given two pages:
1. Left Page: Instructions (10 steps)
2. Right Page: A 3x3 grid with transportation images

We'll go through each instruction and apply it to the correct image on the grid.

---

#### 📝 Grid Layout (Top to Bottom, Left to Right):

| | | |
|-------|-------|-------|
| Boat (blue) | Car (red) | Car (blue) |
| Helicopter (blue) | Helicopter (yellow) | Boat (red) |
| Boat (yellow) | Car (yellow) | Helicopter (red) |

---

Now, let’s follow each instruction one by one.

---

✔ Instruction 1: *Draw a line above the blue helicopter.*

- The blue helicopter is in the middle-left cell.
- So, draw a line above that cell → above the middle-left square.

> ✔️ Done: Line drawn just above the blue helicopter.

---

✔ Instruction 2: *Draw a triangle around the yellow helicopter.*

- The yellow helicopter is in the middle-center cell.
- Draw a triangle around it (enclosing the image).

> ✔️ Done: Triangle drawn around the yellow helicopter.

---

✔ Instruction 3: *Draw a circle around the blue car.*

- The blue car is in the top-right cell.
- Draw a circle around it.

> ✔️ Done: Circle around the blue car.

---

✔ Instruction 4: *Draw a square around the red cat.*

- Wait — there is no red cat in the grid!
- All images are vehicles: boats, cars, helicopters.
- There is no cat, so this instruction seems invalid or possibly a typo.

But wait — perhaps it’s a mistake? Let's check again.

Looking at the grid:
- Red car? Yes — top-middle.
- But no cat.

Possibility: Maybe it's meant to be "red boat"? But the red boat is in the middle-right.

Alternatively, maybe it's a typo, and it should be "red boat"?

But the next instruction says "red boat", so likely not.

Wait — could it be "red car"? That would make sense.

But the instruction says "red cat" — which doesn't exist.

👉 Conclusion: This instruction appears to be incorrect or a typo. Since there is no cat, we cannot complete this step.

But let's assume it’s a mistake and skip it for now.

> ✘ Cannot complete: No red cat in the image.

---

✔ Instruction 5: *Draw a circle around the red boat.*

- The red boat is in the middle-right cell.
- Draw a circle around it.

> ✔️ Done: Circle around the red boat.

---

✔ Instruction 6: *Draw a line under the blue boat.*

- The blue boat is in the top-left cell.
- Draw a line under it → below the top-left cell.

> ✔️ Done: Line drawn under the blue boat.

---

✔ Instruction 7: *Draw a circle under the red helicopter.*

- The red helicopter is in the bottom-right cell.
- Draw a circle under it → below that cell.

> ✔️ Done: Circle drawn under the red helicopter.

---

✔ Instruction 8: *Draw a circle above the blue boat.*

- The blue boat is in the top-left cell.
- Draw a circle above it → above that cell.

> ✔️ Done: Circle drawn above the blue boat.

---

✔ Instruction 9: *Draw a triangle on the yellow car.*

- The yellow car is in the bottom-center cell.
- Draw a triangle on it → meaning on top of the yellow car.

> ✔️ Done: Triangle drawn on the yellow car.

---

✔ Instruction 10: *Write your name under the blue helicopter.*

- The blue helicopter is in the middle-left cell.
- Write your name under it → below that cell.

> ✔️ Done: Name written under the blue helicopter.

🚫 Issue: Instruction 4 – "red cat"

This instruction cannot be completed because:
- There is no cat in the image.
- It may be a typo — possibly meant to be:
- "red car"? (but red car is already used)
- "red boat"? (already covered in instruction 5)
- "red helicopter"? (but that's later)

Alternatively, perhaps it was supposed to be "red car", but that would duplicate.

But since the instruction specifically says "red cat", and there is no cat, we conclude it's an error.

✔ Final Summary of Actions:

| Instruction | Action Taken | Notes |
|-----------|--------------|-------|
| 1 | Line above blue helicopter | ✔ Done |
| 2 | Triangle around yellow helicopter | ✔ Done |
| 3 | Circle around blue car | ✔ Done |
| 4 | Square around red cat | ✘ Not possible — no cat |
| 5 | Circle around red boat | ✔ Done |
| 6 | Line under blue boat | ✔ Done |
| 7 | Circle under red helicopter | ✔ Done |
| 8 | Circle above blue boat | ✔ Done |
| 9 | Triangle on yellow car | ✔ Done |
| 10 | Write name under blue helicopter | ✔ Done |

🧠 Explanation:

This exercise tests:
- Auditory memory: Listening to instructions and remembering them.
- Visual-spatial skills: Drawing shapes in correct locations.
- Attention to detail: Distinguishing between similar objects (e.g., blue vs red helicopter).
- Following multi-step directions.

The only issue is Instruction 4, which contains a non-existent object ("red cat") — likely a typo.

---

✔ Recommendation:

If you're using this worksheet:
- Correct the typo: Change “red cat” to something like “red boat” or “yellow car” — but ensure it doesn’t conflict with other instructions.
- Or, if it’s a test of listening accuracy, point out that the instruction is invalid due to missing object.

---

🖼️ Final Answer:

✔ Complete all instructions except #4, which cannot be completed due to the absence of a "red cat" in the image.

All other drawings should be made as described above.
