✔ Step 1: Sequence the events using numbers 1–6

We need to number the events in the correct order based on the story.

Let’s go through each sentence:

1. Dad and Liam went to the beach.
→ This is the first thing that happened.
✔️ Number: 1

2. Dad put sunscreen on Liam.
→ The story says “First, Dad put sunscreen on Liam.”
→ So this happens right after arriving.
✔️ Number: 2

3. Liam and Dad put shells into a bucket.
→ The story says “Next, they went for a walk and put shells into a bucket.”
→ This comes after sunscreen.
✔️ Number: 3

4. Liam put on his floaties.
→ The story says “Then, Liam put on his floaties to go into the water.”
→ This happens before swimming.
✔️ Number: 4

5. They went swimming.
→ After putting on floaties, they swam.
✔️ Number: 5

6. Liam and Dad built a sandcastle.
→ The story says “When they got out of the water, Liam and his dad built a sandcastle.”
→ This is the last event.
✔️ Number: 6

✔ Final Answer (Fill in the blanks):

```
______ Liam and Dad put shells into a bucket. → 3
______ Dad and Liam went to the beach. → 1
______ Liam put on his floaties. → 4
______ Dad put sunscreen on Liam. → 2

🔍 Bonus: Picture Sequencing (Top Part)

There are four pictures showing a boy blowing up a green balloon (or ball). Let’s interpret them:

- Picture 1: He starts blowing — small air.
- Picture 2: More inflated — medium size.
- Picture 3: Almost full — getting bigger.
- Picture 4: Pops! "BONG!" — it bursts.

So the correct order is:
> 1 → 2 → 3 → 4

This shows the sequence of inflating a balloon until it pops.

But since no instructions were given about labeling these pictures, and the main task is the written sequencing, we focus on the story events.

✔ Final Answer Boxed:

```
3 Liam and Dad put shells into a bucket.
1 Dad and Liam went to the beach.
4 Liam put on his floaties.
2 Dad put sunscreen on Liam.
6 Liam and Dad built a sandcastle.
5 They went swimming.
```

✔ This sequence matches the timeline in the story perfectly!
