The next pop-up card in our nursery rhyme story sequencing series features Baa Baa Black Sheep.
My daughter is still in love with nursery rhymes. So, I’ve been making story sequencing cards featuring nursery rhymes. Allowing us to recite the rhymes and play with nursery rhyme sequencing and retelling.
And, each card has a fun pop-up element added to it!
Why Teach Story Sequencing?
Story sequencing is when children identify the parts of a story, the beginning, middle, and end. It is also the retelling of events in order of how they happen, first, last, etc.
Sequencing works on skills like:
Reading Comprehension – Organizing stories through activities like this helps children work on the ability to understand what they read.
Learning Ordinal Numbers – As your child places the story pieces in the correct order they are thinking through which part of the story comes first, second, third and so on.
Attention to Detail – When sequencing the Baa Baa Black Sheep story, a child must be able to recite and think through the order in which each character appears in the rhyme to put them in the correct order. In this instance, the master, the dame, and the little boy who lives down the lane.
Problem-Solving – Children have to put the pieces of a story together like a puzzle allowing for problem-solving practice.
Baa Baa Black Sheep Sequencing
To start the activity, cut out the story pieces and have your child place them in the correct order.
The rhyme goes like this:
Baa, baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full; one for
the master, one for the dame. And, one
for the little boy who lives down the lane.
Baa Baa Black Sheep Pop-Up Card Assembly
1. Print out the story card and pieces (this is the printer I use).
I print on cardstock because I want the card to stand up well when sitting on the table. And, be able to handle all the opening and closing my daughter will be doing.
2. Fold the story card in half on the dotted line. Making sure that the writing is on the outside.
3. Cut along each set of solid black lines in the middle of the card.
4. Fold the card back the opposite way, so the writing is now on the inside.
5. Open the card back up and pop out the cut portions.
6. Cut out and attach story sequencing pictures to the bottom half of the popped out portion using tape or a glue stick.
My daughter has been working on the skill of breaking the tape off from the dispenser and is getting a lot of practice with these pop-up cards. But, a glue stick may be easier for smaller children.
If you do use glue, just be careful to only place it on the card and not the story pieces themselves. And, also only on the bottom half of the popped out portions. Otherwise, the extra glue might cause the card to not open and close properly.
It only takes a few minutes to assemble. And, once it’s done your child will have a sweet pop-up nursery rhyme card featuring Baa Baa Black Sheep!
