Cut And Paste

Worksheet Description

This “Listening Skills” worksheet is an interactive tool designed to teach students the components of active listening in an engaging way. The central feature of this activity is a playful line drawing of a young boy sitting at a desk, his expression one of eager participation, with multiple blank boxes branching out from the image. These boxes are intended for students to cut and paste labels describing different listening behaviors.

The instructions are simple and direct: “Cut and paste.” Below the central image, there are labels with phrases such as “eyes on speaker,” “raises hand to speak,” “hands to himself,” “sitting quietly,” “mouth waiting to talk,” and “ears listening.” These labels are to be matched with the corresponding boxes connected to the drawing, helping students understand and visualize the physical manifestations of good listening habits. The activity combines fine motor skills with cognitive learning, as students must carefully cut out the labels and think about where they should be placed in relation to the illustration, reinforcing the concept that listening involves multiple senses and respectful behaviors.
