About this resource
Description
Sequencing helps young readers understand that stories and everyday tasks happen in a certain order. This Brushing Your Teeth Sequencing Activity gives Kindergarten, 1st Grade and 2nd Grade students a familiar routine to retell, so they can practice putting events in order and using the order words first, next, then and last.
Begin by reading the short story, “Brushing My Teeth,” aloud. Students retell the story in their own words, then cut apart the picture cards and lay them on the Story Mat in the correct order. Next, they match each sentence card to its picture and read the whole story back. A practice worksheet about making a sandwich lets students show what they learned on their own.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps for teachers
- Read-aloud story: Brushing My Teeth
- 4 picture cards and 4 sentence cards
- First, Next, Then, Last Story Mat
- Practice worksheet: Making a Sandwich
- Answer key for the cards and the worksheet
Why This Activity Helps Kids
First, it builds comprehension, because students who can retell events in order understand what they read. Second, it teaches the transition words first, next, then and last, which students will use again in their own writing. Third, the hands-on cards turn a daily habit into a game, so even young learners stay focused while they think about order.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this kindergarten sequencing activity in a literacy center, a small reading group or at home. Ask children to act out each step with a real toothbrush, or to tell you four steps of their own morning routine. Pair it with a health lesson about taking care of teeth, and keep the cards in a bag so students can practice the Brushing Your Teeth Sequencing Activity again and again.
