Thanksgiving sequencing questions

What are Thanksgiving sequencing cards?

They are picture cards that show the steps of one Thanksgiving routine, like making a pumpkin pie or setting the table. A child cuts them apart and puts them in order on a strip, which practices the language of first, next and last along with the routine itself.

Who are these cards for?

They are made for kindergarten to second grade, in general education, special education and speech therapy. Every card has a picture and a short sentence, so a child who is not reading yet can still sequence from the pictures while you read the words aloud.

How do the two versions differ?

Every routine comes as a 4-step sheet and a gentle 3-step sheet. The gentle version keeps the beginning, middle and end of the routine on three cards, so a child new to sequencing can succeed first and then move up to the same routine in full.

Why do the cards print mixed up?

So the sheet never gives away the answer. On every sheet no card sits above its own slot, and the order is fixed, so a reprint gives the same sheet. The guide's answer key lists the right order for every sheet, which makes checking quick for you or for a classroom helper.

Can a child work out the order from the pictures alone?

Yes. Every step leaves something the next picture needs: the hand is painted before it makes a print, the tablecloth goes on before the plates, and the cream is shaken before it turns into butter. A child who is not reading yet can reason the order out from what each picture shows.

Who does the cooking in the pictures?

A grown-up does every oven step, and no child holds a knife. The child stirs, pours, shakes a jar of cream and helps set the table, which are jobs a kindergartner can really do.

What formats do I get, and how is it delivered?
