Ordinal numbers worksheets

First, second, third: count from the start

Make an ordinal numbers page. Each row is a line of pictures with a start arrow. Your child counts from the start and circles the one the word asks for: the first, the third, the fifth. A second kind of page joins 1st, 2nd and 3rd to the words first, second and third.

How to make your worksheet

  1. Choose the kind of page: circle, or match.
  2. Choose first to fifth, or first to tenth.
  3. Choose words (third) or numbers (3rd) for the circle page.
  4. Print. Press “New version” to mix it again.

Where to start counting

First depends on where you start. Every row has an arrow at the start, on the left, so the first picture is the one beside the arrow.

Out loud first

Line up five toys and ask for the second one, the fourth one. A child who can do it with toys can do it on paper.
