Use these Sequencing Mats to support students as they learn to sequence familiar events in order. The activity is also designed to support a range of skills including early narrative, procedures and oral language. Students will order a range of pictures featuring daily routines (such as making jam toast, baking a cake, making a milkshake etc) and place them on a mat featuring the time order words first, then, next and last. Sequencing sets are colour coded to allow for easy sorting.

To extend the activity, ask students to tell a story about the sequence using transition words like first, next, then, and last. This pack can be used in small groups or one-on-one. You might also be interested in our other sequencing packs:
