 Yes, I see this activity also really rich as I already have around 10
categories from Categorization of shapes and next we can include the
grammer terms that are generally taught to a children like nouns, verbs,
tenses, conjunctions, prepositions( function words
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_word ) and then we can also have
similar similar meaning words together. This basically involves some random
words belonging to a similar context. :)

Yes, the teacher can also use the shapes for doing so. We can skip it in
that case if its not required.

Thank you
