Sequencing Worksheets | Pictures, Stories & Events - Free Printable

Let’s go through each row one by one to find which set of pictures is in a logical sequence — meaning, the pictures show steps that happen in order, like before → during → after.

---

Row 1:
- Picture 1: Whole apple
- Picture 2: Same whole apple (no change)
- Picture 3: Apple core (eaten)

→ This doesn’t make sense as a sequence because nothing happens between picture 1 and 2. It should be: whole apple → being eaten → core. But here, step 2 is identical to step 1. So not correct.

Row 2:
- Picture 1: Sandwich with jam jar next to it
- Picture 2: Knife spreading jam on bread
- Picture 3: Finished sandwich

→ This looks like a cooking/making sequence:
Step 1: Ingredients ready (sandwich + jam)
Step 2: Spreading jam (action)
Step 3: Done sandwich

But wait — usually you’d start with plain bread, then spread jam, then make sandwich. Here, picture 1 already shows a finished-looking sandwich *next to* jam — that might mean “before making” or “ingredients”. Then picture 2 is the action, picture 3 is result. That could work… but let’s check others.

Actually, looking again: Picture 1 has a sandwich AND a jam jar — maybe that’s “what we have”. Picture 2 is using knife to spread — that’s the action. Picture 3 is just the sandwich — maybe after eating? Or after making? Hmm, not perfectly clear. Let’s hold this and compare.

Row 3:
- Picture 1: Boy holding gift box
- Picture 2: Boy opening gift box
- Picture 3: Boy holding broken toy (looks sad)

→ Sequence: Receive gift → Open gift → Toy breaks → Sad

That makes perfect sense! A story in order: getting present, opening it, something goes wrong. Logical cause-and-effect. This seems correct.

Row 4:
- Picture 1: Slice of watermelon
- Picture 2: Whole watermelon
- Picture 3: Two slices

→ Order is mixed up. Should be: whole → cut into slices → maybe eat some. But here it starts with slice, then whole, then two slices. Doesn’t follow time order. Not correct.

Row 5:
- Picture 1: Toothpaste tube
- Picture 2: Toothbrush
- Picture 3: Girl brushing teeth

→ This is almost right, but missing a step: you need to put toothpaste ON the brush before brushing. The sequence should be: toothpaste → apply to brush → brush teeth. But here, picture 2 is just the brush alone — no paste on it. So it skips the action of applying paste. Not fully sequential. Not quite correct.

---

Now back to Row 2 vs Row 3.

Row 2:
Picture 1: Sandwich + jam jar → maybe “before”
Picture 2: Spreading jam → “during”
Picture 3: Sandwich alone → “after”? But why remove the jam jar? Maybe it’s “finished product”. Still, it’s a bit ambiguous.

Row 3:
Clear cause-and-effect story: get gift → open it → toy breaks → sad face. Very logical sequence of events over time.

Also, in Row 3, all three images involve the same boy and same object (gift/toy), showing progression. In Row 2, the objects shift slightly (jam jar disappears in last image).

So Row 3 is the best answer.

Wait — let me double-check Row 5 again.

Row 5:
Toothpaste → toothbrush → girl brushing.

If we assume that “toothbrush” implies it’s ready to use (maybe with paste?), but visually, there’s no paste shown on the brush in picture 2. So it’s incomplete. Whereas in Row 3, every step clearly follows from the previous.

Also, in many such worksheets, they look for emotional or event-based sequences too — like happy → surprised → sad, etc. Row 3 fits that.

Final decision: Row 3 is the only one with a clear, logical, chronological sequence of events involving the same subject.
