"Itsy Bitsy Spider" is a nursery rhyme that kids may very well already know. In case some don't, recite the song a few times until they become familiar with it. Then pass out a copy of the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" cards (enchantedlearning.com/rhymes/seq/itsybitsy.shtml) to each child. There are four cards that show the spider in various stages of the song. Have the preschoolers put them in the logical sequence according to the song lyrics while singing. If time permits, have them color the pictures.
This is a great one for October of November, when pumpkins are popular because of Halloween and Thanksgiving. Print out the pumpkin sequencing cards (kizclub.com/Topics/food/pumpkin.pdf) and have the kids try to arrange them in the correct order of a pumpkin's life cycle. Explain how they start from a seed, become vines, then a pumpkin and finally a pumpkin pie. This helps children understand a natural life progression for plants. They can color the cards when they are done. Have them glue the colored cards to construction paper in order and they can take them home to their parents.
This activity will test the children's ability to remember a story. Recite the story of Cinderella, which some of the children may already know. Pass out printed Cinderella story cards (abcteach.com/free/c/cinderellasequencecards.pdf) and ask them to put them in the correct order. You can recite the story again if you need to in order to help them finish. Once again, they can color the pictures after they get them in the correct order.
Most kids love cookies, so learning about how they are made is fun and in this case educational. Pass out a set of the baking cookies sequencing cards (dltk-teach.com/alphabuddies/sequence/bcookies.gif) to each child. Ask the children to put them in order from start to finish. If they can't do this, help them understand the order that baking occurs. From mixing the ingredients to the final product, they can learn the logical way that cookies get made. Allow them to color the cards if time permits.
