Sun Protection Sorting Worksheet for Kids

Let’s think about what each item does.

We need to sort the items into two groups:
- Things that protect you from the sun
- Things that do not protect you from the sun

Look at each item one by one:

1. Sunscreen – You put this on your skin to block harmful sun rays → ✔ Protects
2. Shovel – Used for digging in sand or dirt, doesn’t stop sun → ✘ No protection
3. Skateboard – For riding, no sun protection → ✘ No protection
4. Hat – Covers your head and face from direct sunlight → ✔ Protects
5. Flashlight – Makes light, but not for blocking sun → ✘ No protection
6. Pail (bucket) – Holds things like water or toys, doesn’t shield you → ✘ No protection
7. Umbrella – Can be used as a shade from the sun → ✔ Protects
8. Sunglasses – Protect your eyes from bright sun → ✔ Protects
9. Ball – For playing, offers no sun protection → ✘ No protection
10. Water – Keeps you hydrated, but doesn’t block sun rays → ✘ No protection

Now let’s group them:

✔ Protects you from the sun:
sunscreen, hat, umbrella, sunglasses

✘ Does not provide protection:
shovel, skateboard, flashlight, pail, ball, water

Final Answer:
Protects you from the sun: sunscreen, hat, umbrella, sunglasses
Does not provide protection: shovel, skateboard, flashlight, pail, ball, water
