Category Sorting


This category sorting activity was originally paired with the Pronoun People activity. I thought it would be best to separate them to create more flexibility with some upcoming activities. I included 7 different category pages as well as a template page and category names.

The categories include:

Dessert Foods

Breakfast Foods

Pets

Ocean Animals

Clothing/Things You Wear

School Supplies

Fruits



Instructions

1) Print this activity and laminate for durability

2) Cut out all of the various category objects and the category names

3) Select a category and start sorting

4) You can use Velcro or place the common objects on the template page


Activity Variations: You can change the degree of difficulty by adding or removing objects from the field. You can also use this activity for comparing and contrasting or describing objects. 




The category labels are below. I usually put the labels face down and have my kiddo pick from the pile.


Below are some examples of the category cards

These category cards can be used in conjunction with the Pronoun People activity. I also plan on pairing these cards with future activities, such as Possessive People (coming soon).
