First, then, last concepts
I was just going over some sequencing with one of my kiddos and I used nursery rhymes to teach the first, then, last concept. We would look at a picture that goes to the nursery rhyme and say the rhyme together (eg. Humpty Dumpty). I would then ask her "what happened first?" and she would reply "Humpty sat on a wall". I would say "then what happened?" she would answer " he had a great fall". I would prompt "what happened last?" she would reply "the kings men and horses couldn't put Humpty back together". You could also make some picture cards to use as prompts as well. Have the student put them in order, then ask her the questions. This works with several rhymes, I also used, "Hey Diddle Diddle", "Little Miss Muffet", "Eensy Weensy Spider", and "Hickory Dickory Dock".
