How to run it
Say each one once and wait. Repeating turns a listening task into a memory-supported one, and the point is what the child can do with a single hearing. Do the y luego directions before the antes ones, since before reverses the order of mention and is a genuinely harder construction. The card with three tarjetas is the hardest and belongs last. Ten minutes covers the twelve.
Cueing ladder
Start at the top. Add support one step at a time.

Adjust it
Give one step at a time, with a picture or a written list for each step.
Add a step, or a concept word such as 'before', 'after' or 'except'.

Twelve Spanish directions with spatial and order concepts: toca la mesa y luego la silla; pon el lápiz debajo del libro; antes de sentarte, toca la puerta; señala la ventana, luego el reloj, y después siéntate; toma tres tarjetas, devuelve dos y dame la última. They build from two steps to three, and several use antes and después, which reverse the order of mention.
What to listen for
Watch the antes items specifically. Antes de sentarte, toca la puerta requires acting on the second thing mentioned first, and a child who sits down has followed the order they heard — which is the default strategy and not carelessness. Notice which step goes missing in the three-step directions: usually the middle one.
Carrying it home
Directions happen all day in any language. Giving two at once rather than one at a time, and waiting through the pause instead of repeating, is the whole practice.

Questions
- Is this board in Spanish?
- Yes, all twelve directions are Spanish. This page is in English so an English-speaking clinician can find and evaluate it.
- Do I need an account?
- No, it plays free with no login.
- Why is 'antes' harder than 'y luego'?
- Because it reverses the order of mention — the action stated second happens first. Children default to acting in the order they hear, so before requires an extra step that and then does not.
