About this chart
Six groups at a glance: animals, food, clothes, toys, things that go and kitchen things, each with six pictures.
What kids practice
A category is a group of things that go together, like animals, food, clothes, toys, things that go and kitchen things. Kindergartners learn to name things, sort them into groups and name the group. It builds vocabulary and helps kids remember and find words.
Watch for
- Sorting by color or size instead of by group. Ask "What kind of thing is it?"
- Putting things together because they go together in life, like a dog and a bone. Ask "Is a bone an animal?"
- Naming only one or two things. Give a hint, like "It lives on a farm."
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full categories and naming guide for kindergarten.
