Description: Help students build functional home organization skills with this interactive sorting activity! Instead of simply putting items away, students must problem-solve where each item belongs—choosing the most appropriate drawer, crate, basket, or cubby based on the item's category. This activity goes beyond basic sorting, requiring students to organize within the category for more advanced problem-solving. ✔ 78 total slides ✔ 5 different sorting challenges: 3 plastic containers 4 plastic drawers 4 wooden crates 6 baskets (sort jewelry: rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.) 9 cubby holes (sort shoes: sneakers, high heels, hiking boots, etc.) Skills Targeted: -Sorting & categorizing (Does it belong in the medical drawer or the hair care crate?) -Problem-solving (Where should necklaces be stored?) Beyond basic sorting—organizing within the category (Jewelry is sorted by type; shoes are sorted by style.) -Building home responsibility (Helps students practice real-life organization skills!) -Increasing independence with chores (A great way to reinforce home routines!) AAC & Language Support: Students can practice core and fringe vocabulary while sorting items into general categories such as crafts, medical, hair care, and jewelry. More advanced levels encourage deeper categorization within specific subgroups. A practical and engaging resource for special education, life skills instruction, and speech therapy!
