Odd One Out

A row of pictures contains a group and one extra picture drawn from another category. Your child taps the one the game treats as different. You can name the pictures together and discuss a reason for the choice, including another grouping your child notices while looking.

Free for every family until 20 November 2026Every game and level. No card needed.

Which one does NOT belong?

Four cards: a tennis racket, a fish, an octopus and a shell.
A real screen from the game’s first level.

What it practises

  • Compare familiar pictures by category
  • Identify the picture selected from another group

How the levels grow

  1. Seed Level 1
  2. Sprout Level 2
  3. Bloom Level 3
  4. Flourish Level 4
  5. Shine Level 5

Ages 2–4 see three pictures at levels 1–2, four at levels 3–4 and five at level 5. Ages 4–6 see four, five, six, six and seven across the five levels. Every round draws most pictures from one bank category and one from another. The categories include fruit, vehicles, clothes and balls. The main group must have enough different pictures for the level's set size. All levels contain five rounds.

Ages 2–4 play on the Pre-Nursery path and ages 4–6 on the Kindergarten path. Good play climbs a level; a hard day holds it, and a level earned is never taken away.

What you might notice

  • What reason does your child give for their choice?
  • Do they notice another possible way to group the pictures?

Try it at home

Draw three spoons and one cup on paper. Ask what belongs together and why. Accept a different grouping if your child can explain it, then discuss your own idea. For younger children, name each drawing and point together without requiring a spoken reason.

Not in this game: The game does not score a child's spoken explanation or accept every defensible grouping.
