Cut the edges off the page, cut vertically down the lines then share these columns out so everyone in the group can cut along the horizontal lines, scrumple the off-cuts up and put them in the middle of the table ready to go in the bin later. In my experience, asking the children to cut up the word cards themselves before sorting them is the most efficient way to play these games but it is worth being very clear about how you want the words cut up. There are also printable word cards and sorting grids available in many units to allow the sorting to be done in a paper-based way which can allow children to play in pairs or small groups and get more hands-on chances to sort words. If children just watch and wait while other children decide where the words should go they will quickly get bored and learn very little. Consider asking children to show with actions which category each word belongs to or number the columns and ask them to hold up the right number of fingers or ask them to write or draw a symbol for the category on their whiteboards and hold that up.

Some of the interactive resources on the site involve sorting activities that allow words to be dragged into columns.
Therefore learning these conventions often involves sorting games.
Investigating, exploring and understanding spelling conventions, often involves sorting words into categories.
