ESL worksheets for kids vocabulary sorting activity

Description

A vocabulary sorting activity for young ESL learners that helps students review common words through pictures and categories. Students identify vocabulary from pictures, sort the words into groups, and add one more word they know for each category.

The task is structured to provide visual support while also giving students a small opportunity to recall vocabulary independently.

Task Overview

The worksheet shows 24 pictures representing vocabulary items from six categories:

  • Animals
  • Fruits
  • Clothes
  • Vehicles
  • Body parts
  • School supplies

Students look at the pictures, identify the words, and write them in the correct category. Each category has five spaces, but only four of the words come from the pictures. Students are asked to think of one additional word that belongs to the category and write it in the last space.
