Insect Bug Sort | Sorting Activity

What am I? Am I a spider, am I an insect, or am I none of these? Count the legs on the picture and decide. This is a sorting activity. Students will be engaged with the pictures of the insects they need to sort; allowing them to see the body parts and count the legs to decide if its an insect, arachnid, or neither. Perfect for your bug / insect or spider / arachnid units.

Includes:

• Cut and Glue Worksheet: 3 versions ( all versions have bug names or without)
• Pocket Chart Activity: bug cards to sort, labels
• Sorting Activity: Mats (insect, arachnid, other) and cards to sort on mats
• Graphing Worksheet: corresponds to the sorting activity worksheets and pocket chart activity

*all bugs on worksheets and sorting cards come in versions with the insect names and without. The without names allows you, the teacher, to write in the name yourself using a different language of your choosing.
