Sorting Game Maker
Want students to sort animals by habitat, words by vowel sound, or objects by color? Bitsboard's Sort It game turns any set of pictures and words into a drag-and-drop sorting activity. You make the cards once and Bitsboard builds the game.
How to make a sorting game
- Create a board in the Bitsboard app (iPad or iPhone).
- Add your items with a photo, a word, and optional recorded audio.
- Mark related items so Bitsboard knows which items belong together. See how related items work.
- Play Sort It. Choose 2 to 4 groups, the number of items, and whether tiles snap into place.
Sorting game ideas
- Phonics: short a vs. short u words such as cab, tab, cub, tub.
- Word families: sort -it and -ot words.
- Science: living vs. non-living, land vs. water animals.
- Speech therapy: sort pictures by target sound or position.
- Life skills: food groups, clothing by season, safe vs. unsafe.
Settings that matter
- Min and max groups to control difficulty.
- Tile magnet on for errorless learning, off for a real challenge.
- Audio hints so pre-readers hear each item.
- Rounds and items per round for short center rotations or longer review.
