Step by Step Stories: Picture Sequencing Activities for Grade 1 

This Grade 1 worksheet helps learners understand the concept of sequence by arranging pictures in the correct order. Through action-based visuals and real-life scenarios, children learn how events happen step by step, strengthening logical thinking, comprehension, and early storytelling skills in an engaging and age-appropriate way. 

Why Learning Picture Sequencing Matters in Grammar? 

1. It helps children understand order and sequence in daily activities. 
2. It builds logical thinking and cause-and-effect understanding. 
3. It supports sentence formation and early storytelling skills. 
4. It improves reading comprehension by recognizing beginnings, middles, and endings. 

What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

🧠 Exercise 1 – Number the Pictures in Correct Order 
Students look at action pictures (such as getting ready, planting a seed, folding paper, washing hands, or going to school) and number them from first to last. This builds sequencing and observation skills. 

✏️ Exercise 2 – Beginning, Middle, or End 
Learners study picture sets and label each image as **Beginning**, **Middle**, or **End**. This strengthens understanding of story structure and event flow. 

📋 Exercise 3 – First, Next, or Last 
Children write **First**, **Next**, or **Last** below pictures that show daily routines like brushing teeth, washing hands, reading, or building a house. This reinforces sequencing vocabulary. 

🧩 Exercise 4 – Number the Actions Again 
Students sequence new sets of mixed pictures involving cooking, cleaning, playing, and school-related activities, improving consistency and confidence in ordering events. 

📝 Exercise 5 – Write the Correct Order (1–2–3) 
Learners look at mixed pictures and write the correct order (1, 2, 3), helping them apply sequencing independently. 

✅ Answer Key (For Parents & Educators) 

Exercise 1 – Numbering the Pictures 
Pictures are numbered correctly from **1 to 5** based on the logical order of actions shown in each set. 

Exercise 2 – Beginning / Middle / End 
Each picture is correctly labelled as: 
• Beginning – first action 
• Middle – action in progress 
• End – completed action 

Exercise 3 – First / Next / Last 
Pictures are marked accurately using sequencing words: **First**, **Next**, and **Last** according to the action flow. 

Exercise 4 – Correct Order 
All picture sets are numbered in the correct sequence from start to finish. 

Exercise 5 – Order 1–2–3 
Each group of pictures is labelled correctly as **1, 2, 3**. 
(Visual-based activity – answers depend on picture order.) 

Answers may vary where multiple logical interpretations are possible. 

Help your child build strong thinking and storytelling skills by learning how actions and events connect in the right order through picture-based sequencing practice.
