The Mitten Story Sequence Activities

Read The Mitten with your preschoolers. Be sure to share the pictures as you read so they can follow along.

Notice the mitten illustrations in the sidebar on each page. On the left, kids can follow Nicki on his adventure. On the right, kids can see what animal is coming up next.

 Afterward, show them the character cards. There is a card for each animal as well as the mitten, Nicki, and Baba. See if they can put the cards in order as each item/person/animal is introduced in the story.

Now, show your students the story discs and the sequencing mat. There are a few versions of each of these so that you can use the one(s) appropriate for your students. 

One sequencing mat has numbered circles while the other is blank. There are four versions of story discs. One has just images while another has labels. Another page of discs has ordinal numbers and still another has ordinal number words. 

Mix and match these with your students need. Allow them to sequence the story as you read the book again. 

This activity is great in a center. Just print the discs and mats on cardstock and laminate for durability. Use velcro dots on the mat and on the back of each disc. Have students stick the discs to the mat in the proper order.
