Sort, Compare and Classify

We have been playing many simple kindergarten sorting games and activities. Students benefit from having lots of experiences sorting, comparing and classifying objects. Children have been sorting or grouping things by shape, number, color or texture.  As children play kindergarten sorting games, we can introduce vocabulary such as classifying, groups, sets, categories, same, different, fewer, longer, heavier, lighter.  When playing kindergarten sorting games, the students are working towards knowing what is meant by the terms, “sort” or “categorize,” as well as sorting the same objects in many different ways – e.g. using buttons again – sort by size, then by color, then by number of holes, then by shiny or dull, etc.

Can you guess our sorting rule?
