Animal Habitats Sort

Allow students to sort animals by which habitat they live in.

What is Included:

• There are sorting card headers for each habitat.

• There are sorting mats for each habitat.

• There are three to six picture cards for each of the sets of sorting activities.

The animal habitats included in this set include: Antarctic, Arctic, Beach, Desert, Forest, Grassland, Ocean, Pond, Rain Forest, and Swamp

Each sorting mat includes a real life example of an animal that belongs in that particular habitat. All of the picture cards also include real photographs of each habitat.

What Questions are Asked:

• To use these, students will lay out either the header cards or the sorting mats. They will then sort the animal images beneath or on top of the correct sorting mat.

When to Use:

• Science Center - The sorting mats can be placed in a science center for students to learn about living things and where they live.

• Morning Work - These animal sorts can allow teachers to create quick and easy morning activities for students while they wait on their classmates to arrive to class.

• Independent Practice - These animal sorts are great for students to independently work on living things.

• Emergency Sub Plans - The low prep nature and easy to set up activity, makes these worksheets a great activity to leave with subs to assign to students.

• Small Group Activity - These animal sorts can be used in small groups so teachers can target the students who need extra practice with living things.

• Writing Review Activity - These animal sorts work well as a review to reinforce student's learning of living things.

These sorting activities are easy to create. The mats just need to be printed out. The picture cards need to be printed and cut apart. Once made, the sort can be used over and over.
