Notes for teachers – What Belongs ?
This activity asks the children to match an animal, a fruit and a toy to the correct name.
A match occurs when the name of an animal, fruit or toy begins with the same letter as the name of a person on the chart.
This activity sharpens children’s classification skills. It integrates oral work and reading with working cooperatively in small groups. It helps develop problem solving strategies, thinking skills and the strategies needed to tackle new words. Encouraging children to cut out on the line develops fine motor skills:
1. Working in pairs, ask children to read the words on page 2. If the words are not yet part of their reading vocabulary, they can use the following strategies to work out what the word is saying:
• use the picture clue.
• what sound does the word begin with.
• it may be a sounding word.
2. Look at the chart on page 3.
3. Read the words. They are people’s names.
4. Explain how the pictures on page 2 have to be matched on the chart, with the correct person.
The animal, fruit and toy which begin with ‘k’ belong to Ken.
The animal, fruit and toy which begin with ‘l’ belong to Lucy
and so on for Pam, Rose and Tim.
5. Notice there are six pictures which do not belong on this chart.
(They are ball, chicken, dog, fish, bee and orange)
Don’t tell the children this. It is good for them to discover this for themselves.
6. Cut out the pictures on page 2.
7. Place them in the correct boxes in the chart on page 3.
8. Glue the pictures into the correct boxes.
9. As a beneficial extra activity the children could work in pairs and make a chart of their own, using the six pictures which do not belong on this chart, plus ideas of their own.
