Create Categories Menu Item
The first thing we are going to do is set up a menu item called Categories.
We will do this as a Custom Link, so select Custom Links and then add the Categories menu item.
Enter a as the URL (we actually don’t want this menu item to have a URL, but WordPress won’t let us proceed without one, so we are just entering the simplest possible placeholder that we will delete later).
Enter Categories (or CATEGORIES) as the Link Text and Click the Add to Menu button.
Click on the down arrow next to the Categories menu item and remove the dummy URL.
Click and drag the menu item to where in the main menu you’d like it to appear.

I use categories to group related posts together in a menu. It's certainly possible that categories have become less relevant as Google moves towards content quality and value but as they are unlikely to do any harm and it takes only a few seconds to add them, I continue to do so.
