Sort it – a game with cards
Resource
This activity is based on the card game ‘Happy families’. There are 24 cards in the pack, made up of six sets of four cards. The game takes further some of the ideas established in the activity ‘Sorting seeds into groups’. The game is suitable for older children or those in key stage one with some adult supervision.
While playing the game, children have opportunities to:
- practise sorting objects into groups
- learn that there is usually more than one way of sorting objects into a group
- appreciate that it helps to have names for objects when trying to sort them
