Let's solve this problem step by step.
Task Overview:
The image shows a sorting activity where animals need to be placed into one of four categories based on how they move:
1.
Walk/Run
2.
Hop
3.
Fly
4.
Swim
At the bottom, there are 8 animal images that need to be sorted into the correct column based on their primary mode of movement.

Step 1: Identify the Animals and Their Movement
Let’s examine each animal at the bottom:
1.
Horse – Moves by walking or running.
2.
Rabbit – Moves by hopping.
3.
Crow (bird) – Flies.
4.
Deer – Walks/runs.
5.
Kangaroo – Hops.
6.
Pigeon (bird) – Flies.
7.
Lion – Walks/runs.
8.
Whale – Swims.

Step 2: Match Each Animal to the Correct Category
Now, place each animal under the appropriate movement category:
####
Walk/Run
- Horse
- Deer
- Lion
####
Hop
- Rabbit
- Kangaroo
####
Fly
- Crow
- Pigeon
####
Swim
- Whale

Final Answer (Sorted):
|
walk/run |
hop |
fly |
swim |
|--------------|---------|---------|----------|
| Horse | Rabbit | Crow | Whale |
| Deer | Kangaroo| Pigeon | |
| Lion | | | |

✔ Explanation:
-
Walk/Run: Land animals that move on legs without hopping or flying — horse, deer, lion.
-
Hop: Animals that move by jumping on strong hind legs — rabbit, kangaroo.
-
Fly: Birds that use wings to fly — crow, pigeon.
-
Swim: Aquatic animals that live in water — whale.
> Note: While some animals like the kangaroo can walk slowly, their primary mode is hopping. Similarly, birds like the crow and pigeon are primarily flyers.
This classification helps children learn about animal locomotion in a fun and visual way.
