About this resource
Description
Ordinal numbers tell the position of something in order, such as first, second, or third. Children see the numeral form (1st, 2nd, 3rd) on ribbons, calendars, and race results, but they also need to read and write the matching words. This Ordinal Numbers Words Worksheet helps students connect each ordinal number to its written word so that both forms feel familiar.
In this worksheet, six prizes from a garden fair have each won a ribbon. Students read the ribbon on each card, from 1st through 6th, and write the matching ordinal number word on the line below the picture. A word box at the top lists first through sixth, so beginning writers can check their spelling as they work. The ribbons are mixed up, so students must read each one carefully instead of copying the words in order. It works well as morning work, a math center, homework, or a quick check after a lesson on first grade ordinal number words.
What’s Included
- One printable ordinal numbers words worksheet with six picture cards and a word box
- Six ribbons showing 1st through 6th in a mixed order
- Writing lines sized for young handwriting
- A complete answer key
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it links two ways of writing the same idea. Seeing 3rd and writing third side by side builds the bridge between numerals and number words. Second, it strengthens spelling of tricky words like fourth, fifth, and sixth, which do not follow an easy pattern. Third, the mixed-up ribbons make students slow down, read carefully, and think about order, which supports counting and number sense.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before the page, line up six toys or students and name each position out loud. After students finish, have them put the six prizes in order from first to sixth and say each word. You can also make your own ribbons on sticky notes and hold a pretend contest at home or in class. To stretch the skill, ask students to keep going with seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth.
