"Push or Pull Sorting Activity: A hands-on learning exercise for kindergarten students to identify push and pull actions."

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are sorting pictures into two groups: “push” and “pull”.

First, let’s understand what each word means:

- Push = You use force to move something AWAY from you.
- Example: Pushing a shopping cart forward.
- Example: Pushing a door open.

- Pull = You use force to move something TOWARD you.
- Example: Pulling a wagon behind you.
- Example: Pulling a drawer open.

Now, look at each picture in the strip at the bottom of the worksheet (in the top image) or the cut-out pieces (in the bottom image). We’ll go one by one.

---

Picture 1: A child pushing a car.
→ The child is behind the car, hands on it, moving it away → PUSH

Picture 2: Two children pulling a rope (tug-of-war).
→ They are pulling the rope toward themselves → PULL

Picture 3: A child standing still? Or maybe skating? Wait — actually, looking closely, it’s a child on skates with arms out — but no object being pushed or pulled. Hmm… wait — in the bottom image, we see that this piece is placed under “push”. But let’s think again.

Actually, in the bottom image, the child on skates is shown alone — but if they’re just standing or gliding, that’s not push or pull. BUT — in context of the activity, maybe it’s meant to be “pushing off” with feet? That would be a push against the ground to move forward. So yes — PUSH

Picture 4: A child pulling a wagon with a dog inside.
→ Child is in front, pulling the wagon behind them → PULL

Picture 5: A child pushing a stroller? Or pulling? In the bottom image, it’s shown as a child pushing a stroller — hands on handle, moving it forward → PUSH

Wait — let’s double-check using the bottom image where pieces are already sorted.

In the bottom image:

Under “push”:
- Car being pushed
- Child on skates (probably pushing off ground)
- Two kids playing catch? Wait — that doesn’t seem right. Actually, in the bottom image, there’s a picture of two kids tossing a ball — that’s neither push nor pull directly. But maybe it’s misplaced? Let’s re-examine.

Actually, let’s list all the action pictures clearly based on standard interpretation:

From the strip in the top image (left to right):

1. Child pushing a toy car → PUSH
2. Two kids tug-of-war → PULL
3. Child on roller skates → This is tricky. If they’re starting to move, they push off the ground → PUSH
4. Child pulling a wagon with dog → PULL
5. Child pushing a stroller → PUSH

So total:

PUSH: Pictures 1, 3, 5
PULL: Pictures 2, 4

That’s 3 pushes and 2 pulls.

But wait — in the bottom image, we see:

Under “push”:
- Car (picture 1)
- Skater (picture 3)
- Two kids with ball? That might be a mistake — unless it’s meant to be pushing a ball? But throwing isn’t really push. Maybe it’s a different picture.

Actually, looking again — in the bottom image, the third piece under “push” is a single child standing — which might be the skater. And then there’s another piece under “pull” showing a child pulling a sled or something.

To avoid confusion, let’s stick to the original strip in the top image, which has 5 clear actions:

1. Push car → PUSH
2. Tug-of-war → PULL
3. Skater → PUSH (pushing off ground)
4. Pull wagon → PULL
5. Push stroller → PUSH

So final sorting:

Push: 1, 3, 5
Pull: 2, 4

That’s correct.

Final Answer:
Push: Picture 1 (car), Picture 3 (skater), Picture 5 (stroller)
Pull: Picture 2 (tug-of-war), Picture 4 (wagon)
