Cookie Chain

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a cause-and-effect matching activity based on the story “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.” Students are asked to cut and paste the correct outcomes for each action involving the mouse. The prompts include giving a cookie, milk, and other items to the mouse, and predicting what he’ll ask for next. It encourages logical sequencing by aligning visuals with story consequences.

By working on this activity, students build comprehension and sequencing skills as they determine what logically follows each event. They strengthen their understanding of cause and effect, which is essential for narrative structure. The cut-and-paste format also supports fine motor development and attention to detail. Matching images to actions improves visual literacy and reinforces vocabulary from the story.
