Pupils have to choose the odd word out and justify the choices that they have made.

Read a text on Giglets either individually, in groups or as a whole class.
There are then two options:
- Provide your pupils with three (or more) words or objects from a story or non-fiction text; or
- Invite pupils to choose their own words or objects to challenge their partner or a group.
One of the reasons why this is so tricky is because there are so many options and there is often not one definite answer. The key is for your pupils to be able to justify their choices, referring back to the text to support their opinions.
Introduce the odd one out tables to allow children to complete this activity more independently. Pupils can circle or underline the odd word out and justify their reasoning in the final column.
