Pictures provide a child with a clear way to see the sequence of events. By cutting out a comic strip from a newspaper, or by taking successive photos of movement and then printing them, you can test your child's ability to sequence and help him along the way. If you use comic strips, make sure the events follow a clear pattern. For example, someone making a sandwich and then eating it is a clear example of a sequence of events.
Sounds are a bit more complicated to sequence. Once a child closes her eyes, have her listen and then name the events that are happening around her. For example, after she closes her eyes, you can take a CD out of a case, open a CD player, insert the disc and then press "Play." Ask her to tell you what you just did. Once she becomes more skilled at sequencing, ask her to name the order of the events.
Stories can provide your child with a fun way to learn. Read her part of a simple story and then ask her what she thinks happens next. She doesn't have to be correct about what happens, as this exercise is designed to get her to begin thinking about the sequence of events. Or, you can use an obvious sequence, such as "the woman grabbed a hat." Ask your child what she did next -- "She put it on her head."
Play the "I Spy" game with the child. Once the child identifies the subject, you can tweak the game by naming what you can do with the object. For example, "I spy with my little eye something that is brown." You can then name the object, say, a guitar that you pick up, then place your fingers on and play a song.
