In this activity you need to be a good spotter, so let’s focus! Are you ready?
Which is the odd one out of these words?

Did you say curtain?
This is because all the other words are items that can be found on a bed.
Let’s try another:
Which word would be the odd one out here?
Sow Stag Vixen Ewe
Did you say stag?
This is because all the other words are the female names of animals.

Animal | Male | Female |
Pig | Boar | Sow |
Sheep | Ram | Ewe |
Fox | Tod/Dog | Vixen |
Goat | Billy | Nanny |
Deer | Stag/Buck | Doe |
Cattle (Cow) | Bull | Cow |

Horse | Stallion | Mare |
Make sure that you make a note of any new words.
Let’s try one more:
Which word is the odd one out?
