Snowstorm Categories FREEBIE • Panda Speech LLC

This is a simple no prep cut & paste activities to target basic categories. I included basic categories (level 1) and subcategories (level 2). Categorization is an essential skill that lays the foundation for defining, describing, and comprehension skills.

To use: Choose the desired page. I have my students name the pictures and color them to begin (optional). The student will cut out the pictures and glue them under the correct category cloud.

Take it a step further: To work on defining/describing skills, after the child sorts the item, ask them to name a defining feature or attribute of the item. Example: After sorting the elephant you could ask “name two things about an elephant” (such as: it is big and has a trunk). This will help build defining skills.
