To identify and sort familiar images by category
Resources
Used Christmas cards
Step by step
* Ask the children to look through the cards and identify the kinds of things that are displayed on the fronts, for example, animals, birds, stars, candles, Father Christmas, stagecoaches, snowy scenes as well as images from the nativity. Children may also arrive at their own categories, for example, shiny pictures, pictures of real things, words and letters.
* Make posting boxes, say, from shoe boxes, with changeable labels, and let the children decide their own categories and devise their own posting games.
