Ordering stories worksheet for children to arrange events in the correct sequence.

The image is a worksheet titled "Ordering stories" from Schools, designed to help children practice sequencing events in a story. The task has two parts:

---

🔹 Part 1: Which happens 1st, 2nd, and 3rd?

There are three rows of images, each showing a sequence of events.

We need to determine the correct order (1st, 2nd, 3rd) for each row by looking at the pictures and understanding the logical sequence of events.

Let’s go through each row one by one.

---

#### 🌱 Row 1: Plant Growth
Images:
1. A seed in the ground.
2. A small sprout growing.
3. A fully grown plant with flowers.

✔ Sequence:
- 1st: Seed in the ground → Image 1
- 2nd: Sprout growing → Image 2
- 3rd: Full plant → Image 3

So, we label:
- Image 1 → 1st
- Image 2 → 2nd
- Image 3 → 3rd

#### 🐶 Row 2: Dog and Food
Images:
1. Dog eating food from a bowl.
2. Bowl empty, dog happy.
3. Dog looking at an empty bowl (before eating?).

Wait — let's look closely:

- Image 1: Dog eating from bowl → this is happening now.
- Image 2: Bowl is empty, dog looks satisfied → after eating.
- Image 3: Dog looking at bowl, possibly before eating?

But actually:
- Image 3 shows dog looking at full bowl → before eating.
- Image 1: Dog eating → during.
- Image 2: Empty bowl → after.

✔ Sequence:
- 1st: Dog sees full bowl → Image 3
- 2nd: Dog eats → Image 1
- 3rd: Bowl empty → Image 2

So:
- Image 3 → 1st
- Image 1 → 2nd
- Image 2 → 3rd

#### 🧱 Row 3: Building Blocks
Images:
1. Blocks scattered on the floor.
2. Blocks stacked into a tower.
3. Tower falling over.

✔ Sequence:
- 1st: Blocks scattered → Image 1
- 2nd: Tower built → Image 2
- 3rd: Tower falls → Image 3

So:
- Image 1 → 1st
- Image 2 → 2nd
- Image 3 → 3rd

🔹 Part 2: Match the pictures to the order they happened.

This section has four pictures in a strip, and below them are labels: 4th, 2nd, 1st, 3rd.

We need to match each picture to its correct position in the sequence.

Let’s examine the four scenes:

1. First picture: Boy building a snowman.
2. Second picture: Snowman being knocked down (falling).
3. Third picture: Boy pushing snow into a pile.
4. Fourth picture: Boy standing next to a finished snowman.

Wait — let's analyze the storyline:

- The boy must first gather snow → pushing snow into a pile.
- Then build the snowman.
- Then the snowman gets knocked down (maybe by wind or someone).
- Then he stands beside it, maybe sad or surprised.

But wait — the fourth image shows him next to a completed snowman, so likely after building.

Let’s re-order logically:

1. Boy pushes snow into a pile → Gathering snow → 1st
2. Boy builds snowman → 2nd
3. Snowman falls over → 3rd
4. Boy stands beside fallen snowman → 4th

Now match the images:

- Image 1: Boy building snowman → 2nd
- Image 2: Snowman falling → 3rd
- Image 3: Boy pushing snow → 1st
- Image 4: Boy standing near snowman → 4th

So, under each image, we place the correct label:

- First image (building): 2nd
- Second image (falling): 3rd
- Third image (pushing snow): 1st
- Fourth image (standing): 4th

But the boxes below are labeled:

```
[4th] [2nd] [1st] [3rd]
```

And we have to match the pictures to these labels.

So we need to place the correct picture under the right label.

Let’s assign:

- 1st: Boy pushing snow → goes under [1st]
- 2nd: Boy building snowman → goes under [2nd]
- 3rd: Snowman falling → goes under [3rd]
- 4th: Boy standing beside snowman → goes under [4th]

Therefore, the correct matching is:

- Picture of boy pushing snow → 1st
- Picture of boy building snowman → 2nd
- Picture of snowman falling → 3rd
- Picture of boy standing beside snowman → 4th

So we draw lines or place the pictures accordingly.

✔ Final Answer Summary:

#### Part 1: Ordering the Rows

Row 1 (Plant):
- Image 1 (seed) → 1st
- Image 2 (sprout) → 2nd
- Image 3 (plant) → 3rd

Row 2 (Dog and Bowl):
- Image 3 (dog sees bowl) → 1st
- Image 1 (dog eating) → 2nd
- Image 2 (empty bowl) → 3rd

Row 3 (Blocks):
- Image 1 (scattered blocks) → 1st
- Image 2 (tower) → 2nd
- Image 3 (falling tower) → 3rd

---

#### Part 2: Matching the Snowman Story

Label each picture:
- Boy pushing snow → 1st
- Boy building snowman → 2nd
- Snowman falling → 3rd
- Boy standing beside snowman → 4th

So the correct order from left to right (as shown):
- Leftmost: 1st → Boy pushing snow
- Next: 2nd → Boy building
- Next: 3rd → Snowman falling
- Rightmost: 4th → Boy standing

Thus, the correct matching is:
- 1st → Pushing snow
- 2nd → Building
- 3rd → Falling
- 4th → Standing

✔ Conclusion:

The worksheet teaches sequencing using visual clues. The solution involves analyzing cause-and-effect and time-based logic to determine the correct order of events.

You would complete the worksheet by:
- Writing 1st, 2nd, 3rd in the blank boxes under each row.
- Matching the snowman pictures to their correct positions using the labels provided.
