Categories Sorting Activity

• Print and cut out the picture cards and sorting mats.
• Start off with just the 鈥淐ategories鈥� sorting mat. (Food/Clothing/Transportation). Have your child sort the pictures into the correct category group.
• If your child does well with the 鈥淐ategories鈥� sorting mats, try re-sorting the pictures with the 鈥淪ub- Categories鈥� sorting mats.

• Talk about what the function is of each category. For example, 鈥淔ood is for eating, clothing is for wearing, transportation is for moving鈥�.
• Label the pictures first, help your child with any new vocabulary.
• After labelling the picture, then decide what it is used for. Give choice options as needed. (For example, if your child picked the picture of a banana, ask 鈥淚s a banana for eating or for wearing?鈥�)
• Last, identify the category the picture belongs to. Give choices as needed (For example, if you had the banana picture, ask 鈥淚s it food or clothing?鈥�).
• If your child is having difficulty sorting with three categories, try just two at a time (e.g. Just sort food and clothing pictures).
• If your child is practicing with the 鈥淪ub-Categories鈥� mats, talk about what makes each sub-category different (e.g. 鈥淔ruits and vegetables are both for eating, but fruits are usually sweet and vegetables are not.鈥�)
