Soring by location activity

1. Print and cut out the resource.

2. Choose how many categories your child is going to sort - it may be best to start with 2 or 3, before making it harder by adding extra categories.

3. Shuffle the items to be sorted. Each take a turn at choosing an item, naming it and placing in the correct location.

4. If your child is finding challenging to name items, use some of the strategies in the word finding information sheet linked above.  

Make a collage

- Paper

- Glue

- A selection of pictures from your chosen category.

1. Choose the categories you are going to sort into and label the pieces of paper with the category, e.g. farm and beach.

2. Prepare some pictures that fit within each category - you could use objects if you have them.

3. Encourage your child to make a picture of your chosen location by selecting the correct items that would belong in that location and sticking/placing them on to the paper.

4. Name the items as you stick them.
