Fall Printable Sequencing Cards for preschool — SLP - Free Printable

The task is to arrange the events in a logical order, as indicated by “3 - 4 - 6 events” — meaning we’re looking for sequences of 3, 4, or 6 steps that make sense together.

Let’s look at the six pictures:

1. A boy picking apples from a tree with a basket.
2. A single red apple.
3. A girl sitting on a crate eating an apple.
4. An empty basket.
5. A basket full of apples.
6. An eaten apple core.

We need to find which images can be arranged into a story or sequence.

Let’s try to build a 3-event story first:

→ Start with picking apples (image 1)
→ Then have a full basket (image 5)
→ Then eat one and leave a core (image 6)

That makes sense: Pick → Collect → Eat

Now let’s try a 4-event story:

→ Empty basket (image 4)
→ Picking apples (image 1)
→ Full basket (image 5)
→ Eating apple, leaving core (image 6)

Perfect! That’s a clear 4-step story.

What about 6 events? We only have 6 images total, so maybe all 6 fit?

Let’s try ordering them logically:

1. Empty basket (start)
2. Boy picks apples (action)
3. Basket becomes full (result)
4. Girl sits down (preparation to eat)
5. She holds an apple (about to eat)
6. Apple is eaten, core remains (end)

Wait — image 2 is just a single apple. Where does that fit?

Maybe after picking, you get a single apple before putting it in the basket? Or maybe the girl takes one apple from the full basket?

Let’s rearrange:

1. Empty basket (4)
2. Boy picks apples (1)
3. Single apple shown (2) — maybe he picked one first?
4. Basket fills up (5)
5. Girl eats apple (3)
6. Core left (6)

That works too — but image 3 shows her holding the apple, not yet bitten. Image 6 is the core. So between 3 and 6, she bites it.

So perhaps:

- 4 (empty basket)
- 1 (picking)
- 5 (full basket)
- 2 (one apple taken out)
- 3 (girl holding it)
- 6 (core after eating)

Yes — that’s a complete 6-event story.

But the title says “3 - 4 - 6 events”, which might mean: show examples of stories with 3, 4, or 6 events — not necessarily use all 6 images for each.

Since the student is likely expected to pick groups that form logical sequences, here are valid answers:

For 3 events:
Pick apples → Full basket → Eaten core
(images 1, 5, 6)

For 4 events:
Empty basket → Pick apples → Full basket → Eaten core
(images 4, 1, 5, 6)

For 6 events:
Empty basket → Pick apples → One apple → Full basket → Girl holds apple → Apple core
(images 4, 1, 2, 5, 3, 6)

All these sequences tell a coherent story about harvesting and eating apples.

Final Answer:
A 3-event sequence: pick apples, full basket, apple core.
A 4-event sequence: empty basket, pick apples, full basket, apple core.
A 6-event sequence: empty basket, pick apples, single apple, full basket, girl holds apple, apple core.
