Matching Like Objects

Students learn independent living skills such as sorting and matching objects found in a home setting.

This activity has been revised and was originally created by Charlotte Cushman and published in the Perkins Activity and Resource Guide (1st edition, 1992).  The second edition is available for purchase.

Learning to match and sort items such as laundry, silverware or coins is an important aspect of independent living. This hands-on activity teaches students to determine whether items are the same or different, develop classification skills and match familiar objects. Lessons include Independent Living and Social Skills.

Hint: Throughout the day, help the child to identify items as the same or different: “Jack, you and Diane are having the same snack. You’re both drinking apple juice.”
