Odd One Out

Posted by Jacqueline Richards

Language point: adjectives

Can you guess which is the odd one out ? All four of my fingers were the same length ... except for my thumb. The clothes in my wardrobe were all red ... other than my new pair of trousers which were spotty and green. A litter of kittens were in the kitchen ... other than the black one sat on the fireside rug. The flowers in the vase on the windowsill were pink blooms (other than the occasional yellow daffodil). In the garden on the bird table, a host of blackbirds were pecking a crust ... other than the white dove, sitting on a perch. The keys on my computer were all square (but the buttons to the right were round). Everyone in class had short noses, but the person sat at the back had a nose so long that it poked out, nosy, red, bright. The books on my bookshelf were all tall and long, except for this one which is short and strong. The pigs all say 'OINK !' - except for the cat which syas 'MEOUIW !'. Dogs bark 'WOOF' ... and cows go 'MOO !' ... and dogs This is me and that is you. Although there's two - there's an odd one out too. Look around your classroom ... find things that are the same ... and things that have one odd one out
