[App Review] Funny Directions by Speecharoo + Giveaway
Disclaimer: A copy of this app was provided to me; however, the opinions expressed are solely my own.
Today, I’m reviewing an app called Funny Directions by Speecharoo. It currently is available on the app store for $2.99 (prices subject to change).
There are 4 different scenes, each with 1, 2 and 3 step directions. You can choose from the beach, classroom, park, or bedroom.
The one step directions are simple. After you perform the direction, the animal/item does something silly. My kids really loved to see what “funny” thing happens! You can also work on vocabulary and sentence formulation using these scenes!
The two step directions are a little more difficult, but again the student is reinforced with something silly after performing the actions correctly.
The three step directions are even more difficult. I really like that you can use the scenes for other language skills as well.
Overall, I really love this app! It’s simple, but engaging for a variety of my students.
What I Like:
-engaging: kids are motivated to follow directions correctly just to see what silly thing happens
-ability to use for other speech/language skills
-vocabulary development: for younger kids, simply having them identify and name the vocabulary items is easy
-it follows a hierarchy from 1-3 step directions
What I Would Change:
-nothing except maybe having more scenes and possibly the ability to switch between students if they are working on different levels

The app looks great.
My youngest son has a pretty severe speech delay. Would love to have this app on our ipad.
Would love a chance to win! Don’t have many fun activities like this to address following directions
My kids need this so much & this app makes it fun!!!!
I love adding new and exciting apps to help my kiddos!
I want to win because I think this app would be a fun and engaging way to target these skills with my students!
Always on the lookout for new, fun apps.
Would love a new app for my students!
I would love to use this with my students! Looks great!
It’s always difficult to find materials for following directions that the children find interesting. This looks like it would be fun and they absolutely love anything on the iPad!
Looks amazing, would use with my students!
My kiddos love “what’s funny” cards…this will definitely tie in and take the drudgery out of following direction activities!
My students need novel situations to practice following directions, and this would make it a lot more fun!
I would love to use this app with my students. I like that it differentiates 12 and three step directions. The students barely know they’re working when they are getting a kick out of something funny happening.
