Creating a Super Sort activity

Super Sort teaches classification and grouping. In a Super Sort activity, students sort items into two categories. An item disappears if a student sorts it correctly, and the item is sent back to be resorted if it’s sorted incorrectly. Add optional game components to make the activity even more engaging.
