        About the categorization game generator

        Categorizing asks children to notice what things have in common. Sets include fruits, vegetables and grains; mammals, birds, fish and reptiles; solids, liquids and gases; herbivores, carnivores and omnivores; the five senses; and nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.

        Use it as a quick check at the end of a science or grammar lesson, on screen or on paper.

        Frequently asked questions

        How many categories can I use?

        Two to five. Type your items as “item - category”, and each new category name becomes a column.

        Can I print it in black and white?

        Yes. Text activities print clearly in black and white; colour patterns need a colour printer or crayons.

        Is the categorization game generator free?

        Yes. There’s no signup, and nothing you type or play is stored or sent anywhere.

        Is there an answer key?

        Yes. Printed worksheets include an answer key on the last page, and the on-screen game checks answers for you.

        Does it work on tablets and phones?

        Yes. Everything is tap-to-select, so it works with fingers as well as a mouse.
