Barrier Games

We have been using barrier games to help us learn positional language like left or right and above or below. These games are also a great avenue for listening and giving instructions.
The idea is two children have their own game board and game pieces, They are all identical to each others. There is a barrier between them (in our case a book) One child gives instructions to the other telling them where on their own board to place the game pieces. It is a case of listening carefully and following the instructions completely. You are not supposed to look at the other childs board!
