Objective: Child classifies and counts toys into categories while cleaning up, practicing sorting and counting in Spanish.
🧺 Materials
- toys to put away
- 2-3 bins or baskets
📋 Instructions (parent)
- As you clean up, name two or three categories out loud in Spanish (animals, art supplies, soft things).
- Ask your child to put each toy in the right bin, naming the category as they go.
- Pause to count how many items go in one bin together, pointing at each one.
- Cheer when a bin is full and let your child pick the next category to sort.
- Finish by counting the bins or doing a quick 'todo limpio' celebration dance.
➕ Extension ideas
- Sort by color instead of category for a new round.
- Time yourselves and try to beat the clock while naming items in Spanish.
