Sorting BUGS- Non-Identicals

BUGS BUGS BUGS - sorting bugs

Beware this activity could make your skin crawl!

To begin the activity, the learner is presented with two sorting cards each featuring an image of a specific type of bug, such as a ladybug and a butterfly. The learner is then given 12 cards, each of which features an image of a ladybug or a butterfly, but with some slight differences between them and asked to sort or group them by insect. This activity can be made more difficult by asking the learner to sort bees and wasps or beetles and cockroaches - Yes, I said cockroaches. YUCK. - however they do elicit a response of gross and giggles from many. Keeping it fun!

By engaging in this fun and interactive activity, learners can improve their observation skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities, all while learning about the fascinating world of insects.

The pages are clear of visual distractions which helps the learner focus on the task and also helpful for those learners who struggle with visual attention. This activity is easy to create and to assemble - Print and laminate all cards, cut out the individual sorting cards, and velcro them to the corresponding activity place card - and please, try not to touch the bugs!

Enjoy teaching and have fun learning
