KS1 Sequencing Challenge Cards – 60 Tasks

Build KS1 pupils’ sequencing skills with 60 varied challenge cards focusing on ordering events, routines and simple sequences.

Designed for Year 1 and Year 2 (ages 5–7), the tasks progress from recognising what happens first, next and last to ordering longer sequences, identifying missing steps, correcting mixed-up sequences, reasoning about order and creating independent sequences.

Activities include first, next and last tasks, before and after, immediately before and immediately after, ordering 3–5 events, chronological order, identifying missing stages, correcting incorrect sequences, reasoning about why order matters and creating original sequences.
