Ordinal Numbers Coloring Worksheet for Preschoolers

This worksheet introduces children ages 4-6 to ordinal numbers from sixth to tenth, teaching them that position in a sequence, like 'which one is 6th,' is a different idea from counting how many items there are in total. Coloring the correctly positioned picture in each row also reinforces left-to-right tracking, an important pre-reading skill.

How to use this worksheet

Point to the ordinal number label above the first row, such as '6th,' and read it aloud together. Have your child count across the row from left to right until they reach the item in that exact position. Ask them to color only that one picture, leaving the others uncolored. Repeat for each remaining row through 10th, reminding your child to always start counting from the left.
