Simple Sequence Sentences Worksheets

Support young learners as they begin to understand how events happen in order with this Simple Sequence Sentences worksheet pack. Students look at picture sequences and complete guided sentences using words like First, Next, Then and Last. This helps them practise sequencing, sentence structure and early writing skills in a clear, scaffolded way.

Each worksheet includes a three‑step picture strip and a themed prompt, waking up and getting dressed, going camping, packing for the beach, or making a sandcastle. Students use the images to complete the sentences and build a simple recount of events in order.

How These Worksheets Build Sequencing Skills

Help students understand that stories and actions follow a sequence. These worksheets break the skill into simple, child‑friendly steps that support comprehension, oral language and early writing.

Students practise:

• Reading picture sequences
• Using temporal words (First, Next, Then, Last)
• Completing guided sentences
• Connecting images to written ideas
• Retelling events in order

This resource supports procedural writing, recount structure and early comprehension skills. Here’s a simple process you could follow with your students:

• Look at the pictures — talk about what is happening first, next and last.
• Read the sentence starters — model how to complete each one.
• Write the missing words — connect the picture to the sentence.
• Reread the sequence — check that the events are in order.
• Let students try — guide them through the next worksheet independently.
