The Seven Chinese Brothers
by Margaret Mahy

In advance create two sets of 7 brothers on each of seven colors of construction paper.  Cut out the patterns, label one set with the ordinal words "first" through "seventh" and label the other set of brothers with numerals "one" through "seven".

Read the story aloud.  Discuss the story, talking about the number of the brothers and the ordinal position of the brothers.  Share with the children that  to use these cutouts 1 student will sequence the cutouts with the ordinal numbers.  Then he/she will  match each of the numbered cutouts to the corresponding ordinal one.
