This medium worksheet drops the tracing scaffold and pushes first graders to choose the right sequence word from context. Part A has nine fill-in-the-blank sentences that move through ordinary moments — putting on shoes before going outside, reading a book and then talking about it, packing a bag and walking to school, and "At the ___ of the day, we go home" — with answers including First, Then, Next, last, end, and began.

Part B is a four-pair matching activity that links first, next, then, and last to plain-language meanings like "it happens at the start" and "it comes after the first." The combination forces children to read for meaning instead of guessing from picture clues.
