ABOUT THIS GAME
This foundational word sort helps young students understand what living things need to survive. Students classify 12 different survival needs between plants and animals. Using basic concepts like water, food, shelter, and sunlight, the activity introduces essential life science concepts. This hands-on sorting exercise aligns with NGSS K-LS1-1 and helps students recognize patterns in what living things need to survive.
