This easy worksheet uses a beach-day scene to help second graders practice sequencing events. Part A sorts six sandcastle steps such as 'Find a good spot on the beach,' 'Fill the bucket with wet sand,' 'Add shells and a flag on top,' and 'Take a picture of the castle' into Happens Early or Happens Late. Part B's five fill-in-the-blank sentences review words like 'first,' 'then,' and 'last' alongside the idea of a beginning, middle, and end. Part C's four true-or-false items check whether students can spot mixed-up order, like decorating before building. Kids build a clearer feel for how stories flow from start to finish.
