This pack includes 4 activities. The main activity has three tasks that involve classifying words into 1 of 7 categories. This opens up for lots of conversation and debate, which is a great basis for a lesson. The other three activities are mazes where children must get from the top row of the word-table to the the bottom by linking words of that type. I hope this proves helpful! Miss Austin
