Who knew that building snowmen could be educational as well as a ton of fun! This two-part worksheet first asks learners to cut out and glue in the correct order a series of four pictures showing a child building a snowman. When finished, they write a paragraph describing what is happening in the scene, being sure to use words and phrases that clearly explain the sequence of events. Include this activity as part of a lesson series on sequencing or offer as an option for early finishers during language arts lessons.
