Cross out the odd one out, printable worksheet
A grid of pictures and an instruction: Cross out the odd one out. All the pictures are of the same category, except one. The category is written nowhere: finding it is part of the exercise, and the child says why the odd one out does not go with the others. You choose the category among those of your words, then Pictures on the worksheet: 4 to 16. Lexikit takes the odd one out from another category of your list, never from the lexicon. You can tick another one.

Frequently asked questions
My list only has animals: where is the odd one out?
Lexikit takes it from another category of your list. If there is none, add a few words of another category, or search for an odd one out in the left column: an apple, a bicycle. The search leaves out the words of the worksheet's category.
Why a single odd one out?
