Rows of four big pictures. Three are in the same group. Cross out the one that doesn't belong.
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, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full categories and naming guide for kindergarten.
