I've done this with my daughter and she loves it! We like to act out some of the Laurie Berkner songs.

I like this idea and think it could serve a myriad of purposes. Along with listening and following directions, I think it encourages imaginative play as you look for ways to act out the story. You could have your child suggest ways to act the story out to make it a cooperative effort.
