Before and After Worksheet for Kids: Sequencing Activities
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 practice sequencing by identifying which picture logically comes before and which comes after a given event. Understanding cause-and-effect order is an early comprehension skill that supports retelling stories and understanding daily routines. Combining a tick-the-answer section with a cut-and-paste section gives repeated practice with the same concept in two different formats.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first set of pictures together and talk through what is happening in each one. Ask your child to tick the picture that correctly shows what happens before or after the main image, depending on the instruction. For the second section, have your child cut out the small pictures and paste each one into the box marked 'before' or 'after' the reference picture. Review the completed page together, asking your child to explain the order of events in their own words.
