→Useful Sorting Games
====Useful Sorting Games====
Some sorting activities can also allow your child to feel useful. You can ask your child to sort laundry according to object and color (white sheets, blue sheets), or by some other appropriate trait (long sleeve shirts, short sleeve shirts). Children may enjoy sorting foods on the shelves at home: canned fruit goes next to canned vegetables, and so forth. In a variation of this, your child can sort groceries after you arrive from the store. Children can separate groceries into freezer goods, refrigerator food, pantry items, and cupboard goods. You can also have your child design menus for meals in which all the foods are the same shape and color.
====What's the Same?====
Your child can play this game with a group of friends. He or she challenges the group to guess what three objects have in common. For example, his or her questions could sound like this: "How are refrigerators, glaciers, and snow the same?" or "How are newspapers, zebras, and piano keys alike?" The player who guesses correctly gets to think up the next challenge.
====Look-Alike====
Your child asks some of the other players to stand up because they have something in common. That something may be a red shirt, a jacket, something brown, or anything else. Players then guess what they have that's the same. The winner starts the next round.
