Let’s try another:

Which word would be the odd one out here?

Did you say drink?

This is because all the other words are sounds that animals make.

 Animal  Sound
 Cat Cat stretching  Purr
 Elephant Elephant  Trumpet
 Lark Lark   Sings
 Toad Toad  Croaks

 

Can you try and make these noises? It might help you to remember them!


 

Let’s try one more:

Which word is the odd one out?

Venus   Sandwich   Mars   Jupiter

 

Did you say sandwich?

This is because all the other words are the names of planets in our Solar System.
