Why we sort by FEATURE - FUNCTION - CLASS Teaching children to sort or group items by feature, function, and classification is important for several reasons: Cognitive development: Sorting and grouping require children to think critically and make connections between items based on their characteristics. This helps to develop their cognitive abilities and improve their problem-solving skills. Organization: Sorting and grouping items based on their features, function, or classification can help children to organize information and make sense of their environment. This can improve their memory and make it easier for them to retrieve information later. Language development: Sorting and grouping can also help to develop children's language skills by providing them with the vocabulary to describe different features, functions, and classifications. This can improve their ability to communicate effectively and express their ideas clearly. Mathematical skills: Sorting and grouping can also help to develop children's mathematical skills, such as counting, categorizing, and comparing. This can lay the foundation for more complex mathematical concepts later on. This activity involves sorting clothing items based on their features, functions, and classes - the items in this activity are commonly seen as "girl" clothes. The learners will be presented with a collection of various clothing items such as shirts, pants, jackets, sweaters, and so on. The objective of the activity is to categorize these items based on their unique features, functions, and classes. To begin the activity , the instructor will introduce the concept of feature, function, and class, providing examples and a brief description of each. The learners will then be given a set of clothing items and asked to sort them into categories based on FEATURE- describing something 'the shirt is red' 'things with zippers' FUNCTION - what it is used for 'wear a coat when it is cold' CLASS - a category 'all shirts' or 'all socks' *For example, the learners could sort clothing items based on the feature of long sleeves, the function of keeping warm, or the class of pants. Overall, teaching children to sort and group items by feature, function, and classification can provide them with a range of cognitive, organizational, language, and mathematical benefits that can support their development in various areas. This activity is easy to create - Print and laminate all cards, cut out the individual sorting cards and velcro to the corresponding activity mat. You can hole punch the mats and put them in a binder for many years of teaching and learning. Enjoy, IFIO girl I'll Figure It Out

Long Vowel EE Phonics Game: Pick the Apples
ELA, Language Development, Phonics, Special Education Needs (SEN), Special Resources, Grade 1, 2, Activities, Games
Pick the Apples: ee Phonics Game Give early readers a hands-on way to master the "ee" long vowel sound with this print-and-play phonics game. Designed for children who are ready to move from single-sound decoding into vowel digraphs, "Pick the Apples" turns repeated practice into a game children genuinely want to play. How to play: Each player has a tree baseboard covered in ten blank apples. Word cards and two "bad apple" cards are scattered face down on the table. Players take turns choosing a card: land on a word card and read it correctly, and you get to pick an apple from your tree and place it in your basket. Pick a bad apple, and you miss a turn. The first player to clear all ten apples from their tree wins. How it helps: The 16 target words — see, bee, week, feed, been, feet, tree, free, seen, sleep, green, steep, meet, sweet, seed — are all built around the "ee" spelling of the long vowel sound, with no competing spelling patterns to confuse a child who's only just meeting this grapheme. That tight focus is what makes the game so effective for building genuine fluency rather than lucky guessing. How to use: This is a 4-page download: print onto card, cut out the trees, apple cards and word cards, and you're ready to go. No laminating or special equipment required, though laminating will extend the cards' lifespan for repeated classroom use. Who is it for? Suitable for one-to-one phonics intervention, small guided reading groups, or home tutoring, the game works well as a fluency-building activity once "ee" has been introduced, or as a revision tool later on. It pairs naturally with any structured synthetic phonics scheme and requires no prior knowledge of this resource's parent programme to use.

e or ee? Phonic Game
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Language Development, Phonics, Reading, Spelling, Kindergarten, Preschool, Activities, Games
This "e or ee?" Phonic Game is a listening game to help the child hear the "ee" sound in words, as different to the "e" sound, since some children have real difficulty hearing this new sound. This is a simple oral game for 2 players, designed to develop the ability to hear the sounds as separate in words, without the need to worry about text yet. No reading or spelling is required at this stage — it's purely a hearing game. No die is needed; each player simply builds a tower of coloured beads as they correctly identify the "ee" sound in a word. These children may have auditory processing difficulties, of which there are growing numbers. With recognition of their needs and timely intervention, many can survive school. Sadly, without it, they may soon fall behind. If you have a child who cannot easily hear the graphemes in words, find or make a game to help. This is one such game you can use. Background to why I made this game One of my pupils has a speech delay. When I introduced him to "ee", he tried to sound out the words by saying "e" instead. It was as if "ee" was a foreign sound to him. So I devised this game to help him hear the "ee" sound in words he already uses frequently. After playing it a few times, he happily sounded out words to read and spell with the "ee" sound. Who can use the "e or ee?" Phonic Game? Anyone teaching a child who has difficulty learning to read words with /ee/, trying instead to say /e/. It's especially useful for children with speech delay or auditory processing difficulties who need extra support hearing this distinction before they're ready to decode it in print. What is included? 1 PDF containing the full game, base boards, picture cards, bead counters, and instructions for making and playing.

Colorful Semantics - What Like, Who to, How and When Cards
Special Resources, ELA, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Language Development, Phonics, Writing, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Activities
Colorful Semantics is a Speech and Language therapy technique which uses color coded cards to help children to learn the important elements of a sentence,and how to join them together in the correct order. Colorful semanticsbreaks down sentences into their thematic roles and then color codes them to help children to learn the important elements of a sentence,and how to join them together in the correct order. The approach initially has 4 key color codes: subject is orange, verb is yellow, object is green and place is blue. As children progress in their understanding there are further stages for adverbs, adjectives and time. This set includes the black for ‘who to’ and ‘who with’, red for ‘what like’, purple for ‘how. and brown for ‘when’, this is to be used with children who have the basic concepts of sentence structure and are beginning to progress to more complex sentences. Colorful semantics is perfect for use with young children learning correct sentence formation or in specialist settings with children with special educational needs. This resource can be used as a learning aid during whole class literacy or on a small group or 1:1 basis. This resource is 5 sets of colour coded cards for what like, who to, who with, how and when. There are 332 cards in total. Children can use these cards to plan sentences either to then speak aloud or to write down. Clipart images courtesy of Kari Bolt Children’s Illustrator

In this resource, you will get an engaging game like Apples To Apples. There are 36 strategy cards and 18 situation cards. This is an SEL game. Each person takes a turn with being the judge like Apples to Apples. It is important to make enough sets for the number of groups who will be playing. for example, I recommend at least 3-5 people playing together for each group. So if there are 20 students, then create at least 5 different sets of the cards, Then follow the directions for the game below: First, everyone gets 5 strategy cards. There is no revealing the cards to other players. Then one person is chosen to be the "judge" for the first round. I usually pick the oldest person to make it fair. The judge reveals the card to all and even can read the card out loud. The the other players choose one of their strategy cards to handle that particular situation. Then the judge decides which one they would use. Important; there is not right or wrong here, just what one person would do in that situation. Next the next player goes (usually counter clockwise) to who will be the judge. The person will reveal the situation and the other players will play their strategy card. Play as long as time allows. Next, you can print off the mindfulness coloring sheets for students to color and reinforce the idea or coloring mindfully when they are upset, frustrate, need some time alone, etc. There is a way to change the word and position of the word in the mindfulness coloring sheet. These are SEL coloring pages.

In this resource you will receive a very engaging and fun game played like Apples to Apples. There are 30 different emoji cards and 90 different person, place, thing, event cards. There is no reading required. Anyone over 5 can easily play this game. Directions: One person is the "judge" first. I usually choose the oldest in the group. The judge turns over one of the emoji cards. The other players choose one of their person, place, thing, event cards that best fits with that particular emoji. The judge then decides which one is best and the person who put down that card in the pile wins the emoji and also gets a point. The game continues as the next person clockwise is now the "judge". Each player needs to have 5 person, place, thing, event cards at all times. If they played a card, then on the next round they get another person, place, thing, event card. The discarded/used cards go back in the person, place, thing, event card pile to be replayed in future rounds. There are directions in this product. Uses: This game is great to play for indoor recess, centers , community building, etc. Because this is fully editable, you can choose which emojis you want and which person, place, thing, event cards you want. You can add or delete any of the pictures. You know your students best. I would recommend copying one set for each group of students playing. I also recommend using card stock and laminate for durability. Some of the emojis represented are party, cook, excited, mad, disgusted, poopy, yummy, hot, icy cold, steaming mad, laughing, crying, scared, etc. Some of the situations are disneyland, ziplining, broken window, darth vader, alien, smelly socks, super hero, minecraft person, candy, ice cream truck, the dentist, getting a shot, arcade, go carts, legos, smores, baseball, touchdown, and many more! You will be downloading a pdf with the link to the Google Slides . You will be prompted to "make a copy". Click "yes". And then enjoy!!!
