About What Comes First?

Short picture stories are mixed up on the screen: an egg, a chick and a hen, or a cloud, rain and a rainbow. Your child taps or drags the pictures into the row at the bottom in the order they happen. Each game brings four different stories.

How to play

  1. Look at the pictures and think about what happens first.
  2. Tap the first picture, or drag it into the row below, then the next.
  3. On a computer, choose with the arrow keys and press Enter or Space.
