  1. Coach Ollie's games

    Hoot hoot! This is Coach Ollie the owl. Ollie runs the Listening Games. He gives directions. You listen to every word. Then you do it! Ready?

  2. Two key words

    Good listeners catch the key words. Tap the red circle. Red is the color. Circle is the shape. Tap the green star. Green is the color. Star is the shape.

  3. Let's tap the red circle

    Ollie says, tap the red circle. The blue circle? Right shape, wrong color. The red square? Right color, wrong shape. The green triangle? Both wrong. The red circle has both. Tap it!
