Categorizing Words Worksheet for 1st - 3rd Grade | Lesson Planet - Free Printable

1. Group 1: camel, horse, zebra, rabbit, monkey, bear
Group 2: apple, banana, orange, grapes, pear, chair

2. Group 1 heading: Animals
Group 2 heading: Fruits (and one non-fruit)

3. The word that does not belong in either group is “chair” — it is not an animal or a fruit.

4. Another possible grouping:
Group A: Words with 5 letters — apple, grape, chair
Group B: Words with more or fewer than 5 letters — camel, horse, zebra, rabbit, monkey, banana, orange, pear, bear

5. These words are in the same group because they all name living animals (camel, horse, zebra, rabbit, monkey, bear).
