Sequence

Grammar activity for ESL & Business English learners

Students drag shuffled words, sentences, or steps into the correct order. Great for grammar word order and process/story sequencing.

How it works

  1. 1Tutor adds blocks (words, sentences, or steps) in the correct order
  2. 2Blocks are shuffled at the start of the session
  3. 3Students drag them back into what they believe is the right order
  4. 4Individual mode: everyone arranges their own copy, tutor sees every result
  5. 5Shared mode: the whole class arranges one sequence together in real time

Best for

  • Word order in sentences
  • Story/process sequencing
  • Step-by-step instructions
  • Timeline events
