Sequencing Events — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. first
2. next
3. then
4. last
5. begin
6. order
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. We eat breakfast first in the morning.
Breakfast is the meal we eat at the start of the day, so first fits to show it happens before anything else in the morning.
2. Next we brush our teeth after eating.
Brushing teeth comes right after eating, and Next is the word that points to what happens just after the first step.
3. We put on our shoes and then go outside.
Putting on shoes comes before going outside, and then links the second action to the first one in the sentence.
4. At last we go to sleep at night.
Going to sleep happens at the very end of the day, and last names the final step in the order.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. You put on socks after you put on shoes.
True False
False. Socks go on first because shoes cover the socks. You can't pull a sock over a shoe.
2. First you wake up, then you get dressed.
True False
True. Waking up happens at the start of the day, and getting dressed comes after you are already awake.
3. You eat dinner before you eat lunch.
True False
False. Lunch comes in the middle of the day and dinner comes at night, so dinner is after lunch, not before.
