Story Sequence
Story Sequence
What happened first, second, and third? Every story has an order — and sequencing helps us understand it. In this interactive activity, children become story detectives, figuring out the correct sequence of events in short illustrated stories.
To play, simply click and drag each picture to the numbered squares in the order the events occurred. When the sequence is correct, you’ll hear a bell ring! Click “next” to move on to another story. If the order isn’t right, try moving the pictures again until everything makes sense.
This online story sequencing game builds essential literacy and comprehension skills. Children practice reading logic, visual interpretation, and left-to-right ordering — foundational skills for early reading and writing development.
Extension Ideas
- After putting the pictures in the correct order, have students write a short story to describe what happened.
- Ask students to imagine what might happen next and draw a new “fourth panel” to extend the story.
- Challenge students to create their own story sequence cards. Then, have classmates swap and solve each other’s stories!
