Drag-and-Drop Categorization — Foundational Variant

What it does

• Drag-and-drop tiles — learners click and drag each item from a shared pool over to one of several labeled category zones
• Instant correctness feedback — correct drops snap into place with a satisfying confirmation; wrong drops bounce back to the pool
• Visual category zones — each target group is clearly labeled and styled so learners always know where things go
• Optional images on tiles — items can be text only or include a picture, making the activity work for visual or vocabulary content
• Completion state — when every tile is correctly placed, the activity congratulates the learner and signals the check is done
• Reset and retry — learners can shuffle the tiles back to the pool and try again to reinforce the lesson

Best use cases

• K-12 and homeschool — sort animals by habitat, plants by type, or vocabulary words by part of speech
• Language learning — drag words into noun, verb, or adjective columns or by tense
• Health and nutrition coaching — sort foods into groups, exercises into muscle groups, or habits into supportive vs. unsupportive
• Workplace training — classify scenarios as policy-compliant, escalation-required, or coach-the-team moments
• Onboarding — sort tools, channels, or contacts into 'who owns what' buckets

What you can change with your DNA

When you run this through the remix skill, your CCOS DNA — brand, voice, audience — drives these decisions automatically:

• Colors — slots for page background, tile color, category zone colors, correct-state color, and incorrect-state color so the activity can match any brand palette
• Fonts — two font roles: a heading font for category labels and the prompt, and a body font for tile text and instructions
• Copy — the prompt or question, category labels, tile text, success message, and any hint or reset copy
• Images — optional tile images and category icons; swap in your own photos or illustrations to fit the niche
• Behavior — choose how strict feedback is (instant vs. on-submit), whether wrong drops bounce or stick, and how many categories to show
