Beaver’s Story Bridge Worksheet for Age 4

Gather the logs, build the bridge, cross the river — circle what happened FIRST and what happened LAST.

THE WORKSHEET

The full sheet, exactly as it prints.

This page is the worksheet’s home: see the whole sheet, download it or print it, and pass it on. Solving on screen happens in the class’s own activities on the Learning Path — this page is for the table, the kitchen and the fridge door.

Three numbered beaver panels — gathering logs, building the bridge, crossing it — with FIRST and LAST question rows of small pictures.

ABOUT THIS WORKSHEET

What your child practices.

Picking out just the first and last beats of a three-part story is a focused sequencing workout: the middle must be ignored on purpose, which is harder than it sounds. Engineering-minded children will happily retell every bolt of the bridge afterwards.

First and last in a story
Ignoring the middle on purpose
Retelling a build story
Picture comparison

On the sheet: Circle what happened FIRST and LAST!

HOW TO USE IT

Three easy steps.

Tell the story together
Read the title and instruction aloud, then let your child point at the picture and say what happens. The picture carries the whole activity — no reading needed.
Mark the picture, then retell
Circle, number or draw on the sheet exactly as the game plays on screen. Afterwards ask “can you tell me the whole story?” — the retelling is the comprehension.
Use the draw box
Every sheet ends with room to draw the next part of the story. A drawing plus one spoken sentence is a complete session.

TEACHING TIPS

Little things that help.

Wrong answers are information

If the story comes out in the wrong order, retell it together and try again tomorrow. Comprehension grows from talking, not from being right first time.

Say the WHY out loud

“Why does Rabbit need the umbrella?” Asking for the reason turns a matching task into real story thinking.

Print it twice

Once to do, once to keep. Children love redoing a favorite story a week later and feeling how easy it got.

Answer guide

FIRST = gathering logs by the pile. LAST = crossing the finished bridge. (The printed art repeats the same three mini-pictures in both rows; the correct ones are gather-logs and cross-bridge.)

REACTIONS

How did it go?

One tap, no writing, no name. Pick the face that matches how it went — reactions are counted instantly and stay anonymous.

Tapping a reaction needs JavaScript. Everything else on this page works without it — and you are always welcome to write to the Principal’s Office instead.

PARENT REVIEWS

Parent reviews.

A different thing from the quick faces above: a star rating for the grown-ups, plus an optional line about how it went. Every review is read by the school office before it appears.
