Venn Diagrams for Kids: Simple Explanation

Two circles โ two groups
The left circle is animals with a tail, the right is animals that can fly. The overlap is animals with both a tail and flight (a bird, for example).
๐ก Practice: use real objects โ sort toys using two overlapping hoops on the floor.
An example with numbers
The left circle is even numbers, the right is numbers greater than 5. The overlap holds even numbers greater than 5 (6, 8, 10...).
