Miss Two and I are playing this sorting colour game for awhile. She loves the game. She can sit there and play for a long time. There are many many ways of sorting, sort by shape, sort by material, etc. Today we'd like to play sorting colours game. This activity is easy and only takes a few seconds to set up. You can use any colour objects to sort, For example, popsticks, plastic lids, pipe cleaner, small toys etc. Be careful when you choose the toys make sure they are not too small for little ones to choke on. We use wooden colour buttons for our fun. Let's get started.
You will need
Assorted colour wooden buttons.
A piece of paper
Crayons
What you will do
- Draw and colour in circles with matched colour crayon and buttons. The little one can help.
- Sort the coloured buttons and match them to the correct colour areas.
When we started playing, Miss Two had no idea how this works. With her brothers help, he guided her how to do it for a couple minutes. After that she could do it all by herself. Sorting games are not only fun activity, children gain more benefits from the game much more than you thought.
- Sorting is a basic mathematical method. Sorting activities help them understand that things are alike and different as well as that they can belong and be organized into groups.
- Sorting is something that helps children make sense of their world. They create order in a world that seems out of their control with basic math skills of matching, sorting and classifying.
- Sorting can increase childrens literacy skill by naming the object, shape, colour, etc. Miss Two learnt about colour through this sorting game.
- When playing sorting game together, they can work on communication skills.
- Sorting help training the brain to create more organized thoughts and ways of retrieving information. This skill can be applied to other areas of their life in the future.
