Sort words into categories

Key Notes :

What are Categories?

Categories are groups of things that are similar in some way. We use categories to organize things and make them easier to understand. Think of it like putting toys in different boxes – one for cars, one for dolls, and one for blocks. Words can also belong to different categories!
