Match Ordinal Words to the Ducks

Read each place word aloud and point to the starting picture before the child counts. Lining up toys and naming them first, second and third is a good warm up.

The duckling next to the mother duck is first, so draw a line from each word to that duckling. The directions on the page read: The duckling next to the mother duck is first. Draw a line from each word to that duckling. An adult reads the words aloud. The page opens with a worked example, and an answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for Preschool number order, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with ordinal numbers. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

No. Most pages ask children to circle, trace, match, color, or cut and paste, and a few ask for a single number. A grown-up can read the instructions aloud, so children do not need to read yet.
