The classifying animals card sort is comprised of 3 cards for each animal group [characteristics, the group name and an image]. Simply print and then cut out the set of cards [laminate if you wish to make class sets]. Students then shuffle the cards and sort them into their correct sets. Comes with a color and alternative black and white set as well as 6 blank cards to add your own animal groups.

Works great as a starter activity or plenary. Could also be used for concentration and snap.
