Sort It Again

Sorting is the easy bit. Sorting again is the hard bit.

  1. 1Tip the clean socks out on the floor.
  2. 2Sort them into two piles — dark ones and light ones.
  3. 3Mix them up. Now sort a different way — big ones and little ones.
6 minutes You need: socks

Why it helps: Changing rules: sorting the same things a new way, like when a game changes halfway.

What do I say if they get stuck?

Every card has a half you cannot see yet: how to set it up, what to say when they are stuck, where to take it next, and what they are actually practising. It is free — the account is so the site knows where your child is up to and can send you the right cards.

Want to see it first? These 0 cards are open to everyone, grown-up half and all.
