These My Community Sorting Mats w/ Real Photos include 10 unique sorting mats that focus on identifying places in our community and where we buy things.

At an independent workstation, center or language group, students complete the following sorting mats by identifying the things that we buy at each store or shop.  For example, we buy a burger and fries from a fast food restaurant, and we buy flowers from a flower shop.

Community places (or shops) included in this set are:

Ice Cream Shop

Fast Food Restaurant

Clothing Store

Pizzeria

Flower Shop

Grocery Store

Candy Store

Book Store

Bakery

Pharmacy

To increase or decrease difficulty for students, increase or decrease the number of mats (or emotions) that you give them to sort at once.

If your students enjoy working on sorting with real photos, they may also enjoy the Sorting Mats With Real Photos Set or  "Sorting Our World" File Folder Games Bundle found below:
