We don't spend a lot of formal instruction time on Ordinal Numbers. Mostly, we learn it in mini-lessons/activities (Math Warm-Ups) and in context through other problems. But here are a few quick activities I do to make sure the kids have a good understanding of it...
In Texas, kindergartners only need to verbally name the positions 1st, 2nd and 3rd. If they can go beyond 3rd, and/or write the ordinal numbers (abbreviations), they recieve an "exceeds expectations" on their report card.

Download Animal School (Ordinal Numbers)
Both of the next ones are in one document.

The next activity is a fun one-- 4 riddles that the kids have to solve (process of elimination).
But if you want it, you have to do me a favor. Please go to the Facebook page for Kindergarten Kindergarten. While you're there, take a second and LIKE Kindergarten Kindergarten. The link for this activity is there. Shameless, I know. But I need to be liked!
