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?
Purple Balloon Orange Pink
Did you say balloon?
This is because all of the others are colours and the word balloon is not a colour.
Let’s try another:

Neigh Purr Drink Bleat
Did you say drink?

Let’s try one more:
Which word is the odd one out?
Venus Sandwich Mars Jupiter
