🌴 What's Included — 5 Cookie Sheet Activities + Vocabulary Cards:

• Hot or Cold Sort — students sort objects by temperature

Creative Skills:

• Build a Summer Scene — students arrange objects and people to create a meaningful summer scene

Vocabulary Skills:

• 19 Summer-Themed Vocabulary Cards for language activities, sorting, classification, and alphabetizing

🎯 Skills Targeted:

Summer and seasonal vocabulary, classification by season, classification by clothing, classification by gender, temperature concepts (hot vs. cold), creative scene-building, life skills (seasonal dressing), expressive and receptive language, alphabetizing, visual discrimination, sorting, following directions, and fine motor skills (magnet manipulation).

How to Use:

Print, laminate, and add magnets to the pieces. Place pieces on a cookie sheet or magnetic board. Students complete each sorting task independently or with adult support. The Build a Summer Scene activity is open-ended — students can arrange the pieces freely or be given a prompt ("Build a beach scene with two kids and the sun") to target following-directions goals. Use the vocabulary cards as flashcards, sorting prompts, alphabetizing practice, or speech therapy targets.
