I love having this on hand to pull out for a quick activity if we're short on time, and it's also a great warm up to do in the beginning of the session to warm up their little brains for a longer activity. Awesome resource!

Description

Help your students practice sorting and classifying common nouns in a fun way with these vocabulary activities & games! Students will sort common nouns by category to teach the Common Core Standard of Vocabulary Acquisition and Use in the primary classroom. Several games are included to teach primary students to sort, classify and categorize vocabulary words and to explain how items are classified and categorized as well as the relationships between objects. Common nouns activities begin at the lowest level with sorting and then move on to classifying. These common nouns activities may be done as a whole class, in small groups, or individually in a center. They are great for early finishers, gifted, and ELL students!

Common Nouns Sorting & Classifying - Vocabulary Activities & Games Includes:

  • 352 Picture Noun Cards (100 Fry Picture Noun Cards & 252 Common Noun Cards)
  • 30 Sorting Mats
  • Instructions For Several Games (Old Maid, Go Fish, and Concentration)
  • Instructions & Graphic Organizer To Play Guess my Category
  • Instructions & Graphic Organizer To Play List-Label

As students create categories using words and pictures, they develop analysis, discrimination, comparison, and logical thinking skills. Identifying similarities and differences helps students see patterns and make connections. Students develop logical reasoning skills when they analyze a group of items and observe their characteristics. They must be able to see patterns and make connections as they sort, group, and classify through comparing things that are similar and contrasting things that display differences.
