• 💡 How to use this resource in your classroom/setting

  Our Autumn: Size Ordering Activity & Display Cards are incredibly versatile and can be used in a multitude of ways across various early years environments:

  • Hands-on Ordering Activity:

    • Cut out and laminate the images. Place a set of the same image (e.g., all five pumpkins) in a tray and challenge children to place them in order from smallest to biggest, or vice versa.

    • For an extra tactile experience, you can add Velcro tabs to the back of the cards and use them on a fuzzy felt board.

  • Creative Cut-and-Stick:

    • Use the sheets for a creative cut-and-stick activity. Children can cut out the different-sized images and glue them onto paper, arranging them in order. This is a great way to develop their scissor skills and fine motor control.

  • Vocabulary Development:

    • As children are using the cards, encourage them to use comparative and superlative language. Ask questions like, "Which one is the biggest squirrel?", or "Can you find the smallest leaf?".

  • Display Aid:

    • Once laminated, the cards can also be used as a display aid to visually represent the concepts of size and order.

  • Discussion Prompt:

    • Use the cards to start a discussion about the different autumn items and their characteristics.

• 🎯 Learning objectives covered - 🐣 EYFS Framework

  This engaging resource supports key developmental areas within the EYFS framework:

  • Mathematics (Shape, Space and Measure): Children learn to use everyday language to talk about size and to order objects by size.

  • Physical Development (Fine Motor Control): The acts of cutting and manipulating the cards strengthen hand muscles and improve dexterity.

  • Communication and Language: Children can talk about the different sizes of the objects and use comparative language.
