About This Game

This NGSS K-ESS3-1-aligned word sort activity helps kindergarteners explore human activities and their environmental relationships. In 'Human Needs and Places,' students categorize actions as either 'Land-Based Activities' or 'Water-Based Activities,' sorting words like 'farming,' 'fishing,' and 'mining.' This engaging word sort fosters awareness of human-environment interactions, teaching young learners how people adapt their activities to meet needs based on the surrounding environment. A practical, vocabulary-rich activity that introduces early environmental science concepts.
