What is Basket Game? How can I use one in a lesson?

The Basket Game interactive allows students to sort items into 2 to 3 categories. This is useful for differentiating between similar concepts, reinforcing classes of objects, and grouping related terms. The Basket Game can also be used as a Venn Diagram by creating two distinct categories and adding a third category for items that share both attributes.

The Basket Game is available in both audio and non-audio formats.
