Sequence Sentences

We can put sentences in an order to write about something that happened or tell a short story. 

It is important to sequence the sentences in the right order; one idea needs to follow another in a logical order so it makes sense.

These meals are sequenced in the correct order:

    Breakfast                             Lunch                                   Dinner

These days of the week are sequenced in the wrong order and do not make sense:

Tuesday  Sunday  Friday  Wednesday  Monday  Saturday  Thursday

These days are sequenced in the right order:

Monday  Tuesday  Wednesday  Thursday  Friday  Saturday  Sunday

We can sequence short simple sentences. 

It started to snow.  The children built a snowman.

The sequence is in the correct order as it needs to snow before a snowman can be built.

In this activity, you can practise putting words and sentences into the correct sequence so that they make sense.
