Christmas ABC Order worksheet for children to practice alphabetical sequencing with festive-themed words.

Let's solve the "CHRISTMAS ABC ORDER" puzzle step by step.

We are given 8 groups of 4 words each. For each group, we need to arrange the words in alphabetical order.

🔤 Rule: Alphabetical Order

We compare words letter by letter, starting from the first letter. If the first letters are the same, we move to the second, and so on.

---

Let’s go through each row:

---

1. round, same, class, read

- First letters: r, s, c, r → c comes first
- So: class
- Then: r (round), r (read), s (same)
- Compare 'round' and 'read':
- r = r → next letter: o vs e → e < o → so read before round
- Then same

✔ Order: class, read, round, same

---

2. plod, dry, drink, must

- First letters: p, d, d, m
- d comes first → dry, drink
- Compare dry and drink:
- d = d → r = r → y vs i → i < y → drink before dry
- Then m → must
- Then p → plod

✔ Order: drink, dry, must, plod

---

3. fresh, tail, hill, test

- First letters: f, t, h, t
- f → fresh
- h → hill
- t → tail, test
- Compare tail and test:
- t = t → a vs e → a < e → tail before test

✔ Order: fresh, hill, tail, test

6. odd, fine, ask, add

- First letters: o, f, a, a
- a → ask, add
