About Sequencing Puzzle Cards

A sequence is the order in which things or events occur or are

arranged. For example, three simple steps to having a glass of juice.

1) Going to the refrigerator and taking out the juice, 2) Pouring the

juice into a glass, 3) Drinking the glass of juice. Therefore, this set of

puzzle cards will help to reinforce the results of cause and effect

and simple reasoning skills.

Building Sequences

Have a parent or teacher separate and mix up all of the cards.

Challenge the children to build all 20 sequences, 10 at a time. Then

flip the pieces over to complete the other side. When the children

are comfortable with the sequences, separate and mix up all the

cards and challenge the children to complete as many sequences as

possible.

Sequence Chase!

This activity requires 1 to 4 players. Separate all the cards and place

them randomly into a bucket. Place the bucket in the middle of the

playing surface. A player begins by taking one card from the bucket.

That player passes the card to the left, where the next player takes a

card from the bucket and tries to complete the sequence. The cards

go around to the left until a player completes a sequence. The

player with the most completed sequences at the end wins!

Sequence Stories

Challenge children to create a continuing story to their favorite

daily activity sequence. Use the three card sequence as the plot.

Have children write what happened before the first card, and what

happened after the last card. Stories may be silly and creative, as

long as it pertains to the plot.
