Sound Games: Odd One Out

🎯 What You'll Learn

You will play sound games to find the word that does not belong — the odd one out.

🌟 Let's Start

Tunde, Bola, and Chidi are playing a game at break time. Tunde says three words: "cat, car, dog." Two start with the same sound, and one is different. "Dog" is the odd one out because cat and car both start with /k/, but dog starts with /d/.

📚 New Concept

In the Odd One Out game, you hear three words. Two words match and one is different.

Beginning Sounds:

• ball, bat, sun — Odd one out: sun (ball and bat start with /b/)
• fish, fan, gate — Odd one out: gate (fish and fan start with /f/)
• red, map, moon — Odd one out: red (map and moon start with /m/)

Rhyming:

• cake, lake, tree — Odd one out: tree (cake and lake rhyme)
• king, ring, dog — Odd one out: dog (king and ring rhyme)
