Living & Non-Living in a child's hands
Vivo Y No Vivo, the living and non living classification work in Spanish, fifty six cards of objects a child recognises without help. Beginning classification has to start with a distinction that feels obvious and then produce the cases that are not: a seed, a feather, a shell. Those are the cards that make the sorting into thinking. The cards are in Spanish. Card stock, full colour, pre cut with rounded corners.
Scientific Classification
Children learn to distinguish between living organisms and non-living objects, building foundational science concepts.
Critical Thinking
Sorting activities develop analytical skills as children examine characteristics of each item.
Language Development
Bilingual labels expand vocabulary while reinforcing classification concepts in multiple languages.
Visual Discrimination
Photo-realistic images help children connect abstract concepts to real-world examples.
How to present it
Lay out a work mat and place the Vivo & No Vivo cards in a basket. Set the label cards aside. Ensure adequate space for two distinct sorting columns.
- 1Introduce the label cards 'Vivo' and 'No Vivo', explaining their meaning in both languages
- 2Select 6-8 cards initially and examine each photograph together, discussing what is shown
- 3Demonstrate sorting one living and one non-living card under the appropriate labels
- 4Invite the child to continue sorting the remaining cards independently
- 5Review the sorted cards together, discussing any uncertainties
3 tips for parents
- Practice classification during daily activities - sort items while cooking or gardening together
- Create a nature collection box where your child can gather examples to classify at home
- Use both languages when discussing living and non-living things in everyday conversation
