The lesson “Classifying Activity” works with children’s critical thinking skills and helps them to develop the ability to classify objects into different categories. The children work together to divide and sort everyday objects, such as bottle caps, food containers, and colored paper into separate piles. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the 4th lesson in the 2nd Year “Critical Thinking Skills” unit.
