Baa Baa Black Sheep Sequencing

This Baa Baa Black Sheep sequencing worksheet gives preschoolers an easy way to practice story order using a rhyme they already know.

Nursery rhyme activities work especially well for young learners because repetition builds confidence while supporting early comprehension skills. With this low-prep printable, you can reinforce sequencing in a calm, familiar way that fits naturally into your day.

What’s Included in This Printable?

This Baa Baa Black Sheep sequencing pack includes:

• A printable flap book base with the full nursery rhyme
• Sequencing picture pieces to retell the rhyme in order
• Numbered sequencing reference (1–4)
• Simple, kid-friendly cut-and-glue format

All pages are designed to print and use right away with minimal prep.

How to Use This Worksheet

Start by printing the worksheet pages and cutting out the sequencing pieces. Assemble the flap book by folding along the dotted lines and gluing it to the background page.

Read or sing Baa Baa Black Sheep together, then invite your child to place the picture cards in the correct order under each flap. Encourage them to retell the rhyme as they work, using the pictures as prompts.

This activity can be completed all at once or revisited over multiple days for extra practice with story order and recall.

Skills Your Preschooler is Practicing

As your child works through this sequencing activity, they’re building several important early learning skills:

• Story sequencing and order (beginning, middle, and end)
• Listening and recall through familiar nursery rhyme repetition
• Early comprehension and retelling skills
• Fine motor strength through cutting, folding, and gluing
• Visual discrimination as they match pictures to story parts

These skills support early literacy development in a simple, age-appropriate way—without turning the activity into a lesson plan.

Simple Extension Ideas

If you’d like to extend this activity a little further, try one of these easy ideas:

• Sing the nursery rhyme together while opening each flap in order
• Mix up the picture pieces and sequence them again on a different day
• Ask your child to retell the rhyme using their own words
• Leave the flap book out for independent review later in the week

These small extensions help reinforce sequencing and comprehension without adding extra prep.
