Group Sorter

Sort pictures into groups, pick a name for each group, and follow a thing to its group and what it is used for.

About 4 to 9 · Sorting into categories and naming them.

Pick a level

Change it any time. Every level is a good level.

Answer your way. Tap it, point to it, say it, sign it, or show a card or device. Every way counts the same.

Pick what to play

For grown-ups

Away from the screen: Unpack the shopping together and sort it into fridge, pantry and fruit bowl.

Easy
Two groups that look very different.
Medium
Three to five groups, and close names like fruit or vegetables.
Hard
Things that fit two groups, and one that does not belong.
  • Start on Easy, even if it looks too simple. Success first, then move up when your child wants to.
  • Use real things alongside the screen: cups for sizes, coins for money, a calendar on the fridge.
  • Wait a little longer than feels natural. Quiet thinking time is part of it.
  • If they pick something you did not expect, ask them to tell you about it. Their reason is often interesting.
  • Pointing, signing, a device or a picture card are all real answers. Speaking is not the goal here.
  • Stop when it stops being fun. A few minutes, often, beats a long sitting.
  • These are games, not assessments. If you have concerns, talk to a teacher or speech pathologist.
