For this sequencing activity I use the mneunomic: My very educated mother just served us nachos. I use the styrofoam colored balls I made into the different planets to stick on my 3-D chart which has the mneunomic and the names of the planets written on it (with glitter glue). Then I take out a plate with nacho cut-outs from poster paper and a paper plate with a cheese cut -out (represents the sun) and have them order the planets and say the mneunomic. After they get it correct, I'll tell them they won a plate of nachos/cheese - which is probably their favorite part. The first time I do this sequencing activity, I will not concentrate on the correct spelling of the planets - main goal is for them to remember the sequence with the mneunomic. For their record page I have stickers of the planets and have them stick it on the paper and write down the mneunomic.
