Odd one out: touch the picture that does not belong, on screen

Animals, and an apple that has slipped in among them. The child comes and touches the odd one out. A wrong touch, and the picture shakes and says its word. The right one lights up, its word appears and is said, and confetti falls. The families of the list take turns, up to ten rounds.

Odd one out on screen: four pictures, three animals and a fruit
The activity full screen, made in Lexikit with twelve animals, the odd ones out borrowed from the lexicon.

In 3 steps

  1. Add your words: at least three from one family, with their pictures.
  2. Set the game: four or six pictures, the word of the odd one out shown or hidden.
  3. Launch full screen: a child touches the odd one out, Lexikit checks and moves on to the next round.

What you can set

  • 4 or 6 pictures per round
  • The word of the odd one out shown or hidden once it is found
  • “Show” to give the answer when nobody finds it
  • Voice: the word of each picture touched is said, capitals, print or cursive

Ways to use it

  • A group language routine: naming the odd one out and saying why
  • Children learning the language: the family is seen before it is said
  • In speech therapy, a categorising exercise ready in a minute

Frequently asked questions

Only animals in my list?

Lexikit borrows the odd ones out from your other resources, then from the words of the lexicon, and says so under the resource: “Added from the lexicon: apple, bike”. In the “Families” section, you choose where it takes them.
