About this resource

Description

Putting events in order is one of the first steps toward understanding and retelling a story. This picture sequencing activity gives Kindergarten through 2nd Grade children five sets of picture cards to put in order, so they can show what happens first, next and last.

Each color set has three cards that show one change step by step: a seed growing into a flower, building a snowman, eating an apple, an ice cube melting, and an egg hatching into a chick. Children cut out the cards, choose a set, and place the cards on a First, Next, Last board or a Beginning, Middle, End board, then tell the story out loud. A 1st Grade practice worksheet asks children to read three sentences and write 1, 2 and 3 to show the order.

What’s Included

  • A colorful cover page
  • A How to Use page with materials, prep, steps and extension ideas
  • 15 picture cards in five color-coded sets of three
  • Two sequencing boards: First, Next, Last and Beginning, Middle, End
  • A 1st Grade practice worksheet: number the sentences in order
  • A picture card answer key and a practice answer key

Why Kids Love It

  • The bright pictures tell a story without any reading.
  • Moving cards on a board feels like a game.
  • Each set shows a change kids know from real life.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Use this picture sequencing activity in a literacy center, at a small-group table, or at home on the kitchen table. Ask children to use the words first, next and last as they retell each set. When they are ready, mix two sets together and have them sort the cards by color before sequencing. This kindergarten sequencing activity also makes a quick check of who can retell events in order.
