About Animal Sort

Sort animals by group, body covering and diet using reviewed examples and explanations. Correct answers can trigger celebrations. Feedback and retry options depend on the game.

Curriculum purpose

Learning objective: Identify common animal groups and compare observable body coverings and diets.

Curriculum anchor: England science programme of study: Year 1 animals including humans.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Ask the learner to name the evidence they used and to explain the meaning of carnivore, herbivore and omnivore. Take a break when you need one.
