How else can I use these?

Try out these 2D sorting activities:

• Use for math/cut and paste centers.
• Laminate the worksheets and use Velcro dots to re-use over and over. This is perfect if you want to remove the challenge of cutting out each item.
• Incorporate the sorting activity into an obstacle course (e.g., have the student pick up and place one item onto the target area each time they go through a series of challenges)
• Incorporate the sorting activity into a scavenger hunt by hiding pre-cut 2D shape items around the room. Each time they find a 2D shape, have them return to the worksheet to place it into the correct target area.
