Ordinal Numbers in Children's Literature & Technology!

Always felt a bit third-rate at teaching ordinal numbers? Share these books and activities and you're sure to come in first!

Books:

On the Stairs - mice count their way up the stairs with ordinal numbers.

Ten Little Caterpillars - count caterpillars with ordinal numbers in this gorgeous new book by Bill Martin Jr., illustrated by Lois Ehlert.


Online Games & Activities:

Wash Line 1 - hang shirts on the line using the correct ordinal number order. (Scroll down for the activity.)

Alien Competition - put aliens in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place using different characteristics: most eyes, most legs, most arms, etc. Also try Alien Racing and Alien Teleport. Designed for whole group instruction with a projector or IWB. Also see Alien Flower Show for ordinals to 5th place. 



For more books, resources and activities, see the Bridges Kindergarten Resource Links.

Disclosure: If you purchase books through my Amazon links, all commissions go toward foster care through Grace and Hope at no additional cost to you. I do not keep any money myself; I am hoping to be able to sponsor an additional child in foster care through commissions on this site. Thank you!

  1. Here's an annotated bibliography I wrote as a sample for my students. It has some books and web sites for ordinal numbers.
