Sequencing of Events Activity – 18 Fun Sequences

Sequencing of Events Activity cards tpt

This is a printable sequencing of events activity for students. Eighteen different everyday-events like catching a baseball, going to school, and drawing a picture, are represented in these sequence flash cards. They are for three-step sequencing of events that are familiar to children.  I made them in black and white also and included a sequencing writing sheet. The file has twenty pages. This activity is for 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and 4th grade students.

Digital Sequencing of Events Activity for the Boom Learning Platform

With these 3 Step Sequencing Sorting Activity Boom Cards™ students can order pictures of everyday events that are randomly shown at different stages of completion (beginning, middle, end). Students can drag each image into box 1, 2, or 3 to show the sequence for each activity. If a wrong answer is performed, students will be instantly cued and able to repeat it until the correct sequence is created. The theme of this sequencing of events activity deck is both general and seasonal. That’s why there are so many cards.

For more sequence activities, I created another sequencing activity. It is my other set of printable 3 step sequence cards.

There are also seasonal themed-based sequencing activity blog posts here.

I love to find tools that can be helpful for student group work. I recommend using a tabletop pocket chart with your small groups for sequencing activities.

It can be used with the sequence cards and the sequence puzzles. It has four pockets which are great for four step or three step sequence cards. A magnetic tabletop pocket chart can also be used if you add magnetic tape to the back of your laminated sequence cards.
