Materials
Images
Animals, Tools, Humans, technical devices,
vacuum cleaner, smartphone, etc.
2 Boxes (or more)
Implementation
One child at a time chooses a picture and has to sort it into the correct box. Continue until all of the pictures on the floor are sorted. Discuss with the children why you put which picture card in which box. This can be done during the activity or afterwards.
Preparation
First place all the pictures face down on the floor. Have two cardboard boxes ready. Label the boxes with the pictures, one box with a picture of animals and one box with a picture of robots. Place the boxes in opposite corners of the room. The room is now ready for playing.
Variation
1. Put on some music. When you stop the music, each child takes a picture and puts it in the corresponding box.
2. Set up multiple boxes to offer more opportunities for differentiation.
3. Make a grid on the floor using chalk or masking tape, etc. Use a robot (beebot, bluebot, etc.) to sort out the pictures with it.
