Set of 30 shirts with 3 different
attributes to group students.

Sorting Shirts can be used to group students into cooperative learning
groups, perform round-robin reading, call on students randomly without
playing favorites, and help prevent calling on the same students all the
time. Shirts can be grouped by the team color, name, and sport printed
on the shirt. Teachers can also write each student’s name on the shirts
for additional sorting activities.

Use the sorting shirts to randomly place students into different learning
groups. Pass out a shirt to each student, then group them according to
one of the attributes on the shirt: color of shirt, team name, or sport.
Placing students into different learning groups each time will encourage
students to work with others and learn from each other.

If you use the shirts to call on students randomly throughout a lesson,
write the name of each student on the shirts. It is best to use a
permanent marker or wet-erase marker to write the names if you plan
on using them multiple times throughout the year.

The sorting shirts can also be used to introduce students in the beginning
of the year. Have all of the students with the same colored sorting shirt
get together and introduce each other to the class. This is a great ice
breaker to use during the first few days of school.

The sorting shirts were designed to help you run your class more
efficiently. Students will enjoy being grouped by these shirts. Allow the
students to decide how to be grouped once the shirts are passed out.
This will give them some ownership and teach cooperative decision­making skills.
