Sequence transition words worksheet for children to practice ordering events.

Let's solve this step by step.

---

Part 1: Put the sequence transition words in order. Write 1, 2, 3, and 4.

We are given two boxes with transition words that need to be ordered chronologically (in the correct sequence of events).

#### Left Box:
- _____ next
- _____ last
- _____ first
- _____ then

Correct chronological order:
1. first
2. next
3. then
4. last

So we fill in:
- 1 next
- 4 last
- 1 first
- 3 then

Wait — but we can't have two "1"s. That means we must assign each word a unique number from 1 to 4 based on its position in time.

Let’s list them correctly:

| Order | Word |
|-------|--------|
| 1 | first |
| 2 | next |
| 3 | then |
| 4 | last |

Now, match each word in the left box:
- next → 2
- last → 4
- first → 1
- then → 3

✔ So the left box becomes:
- 2 next
- 4 last
- 1 first
- 3 then

#### Right Box:
- _____ last
- _____ first
- _____ then
- _____ next

Same words — same order.

So:
- last → 4
- first → 1
- then → 3
- next → 2

✔ Right box:
- 4 last
- 1 first
- 3 then
- 2 next

Part 2: Put the pictures in order. Match.

We have four cartoon images of a character (a bird-like creature) doing different things. Let's analyze them:

#### Image 1 (leftmost):
The character is holding a large balloon or egg-shaped object. Seems like the start of an action.

#### Image 2:
Character is walking or running with the balloon/egg under one arm — moving forward.

#### Image 3:
Character is now holding a stick or flag, possibly having dropped the balloon.

#### Image 4 (rightmost):
Character looks shocked or surprised, with lines around head — perhaps something went wrong, like the balloon popped?

But wait — let's think about what might be happening.

Looking closely:

- In Image 1: Character holds a large round object.
- In Image 2: Character walks while carrying it.
- In Image 3: Character is using a stick — maybe to poke or pop the balloon?
- In Image 4: Character is startled — the balloon has likely burst.

So the sequence is:
1. First: Carrying the balloon (Image 1)
2. Next: Walking with it (Image 2)
3. Then: Poking it with a stick (Image 3)
4. Last: It pops, surprise! (Image 4)

But wait — there’s a detail: In Image 3, the character is holding a flag/stick, but in Image 4, the balloon is gone and the character is reacting.

So yes — the logical order is:

1. First – Holding the balloon (Image 1)
2. Next – Walking with it (Image 2)
3. Then – Using a stick (possibly poking it) (Image 3)
4. Last – Surprise, balloon bursts (Image 4)

Now, we need to match the pictures with the words: then, next, last, first

We are to draw a line or write the correct word under each image.

So:
- Image 1 → first
- Image 2 → next
- Image 3 → then
- Image 4 → last

✔ Final Answer:

#### Part 1: Sequence Words

Left Box:
- 2 next
- 4 last
- 1 first
- 3 then

Right Box:
- 4 last
- 1 first
- 3 then
- 2 next

#### Part 2: Picture Matching

From left to right:
- Image 1 → first
- Image 2 → next
- Image 3 → then
- Image 4 → last

📝 Summary:

This worksheet teaches sequence words and logical ordering. The key is understanding the flow of events: first, next, then, last.

By matching both the words and the pictures, students learn how to organize actions in time.
