Ordinal Numbers Worksheet: Cut and Paste the Community Helpers!

How to use this worksheet

Look at the row of community helpers together and count them from left to right, saying 'first, second, third,' and so on as you point to each one. Have your child cut out the ordinal number labels at the bottom of the page. For each community helper, ask your child which position they hold in line, then have them glue the matching ordinal label into the correct box.
