RECESS - January 29

 

Hi Boys and Girls-Welcome to January 29. I have a fun fame for you today. It is a "What Does Not Belong" game. I will give you a list of words and you have to find the word that does not belong. After you decide which word does not belong, write a short sentence to tell why you think it does not belong. Some are tricky so be careful. Ready-Here we go. (I will do the first one for you.)

 

1. eyes, nose, mouth, foot (Foot-It is a body part but not on your face.)

2. tennis, soccer, football, bowling

3. San Francisco, Los Angeles, Georgia, Miami

4. cow, pig, dog, chicken

5. plum, melon, peach, grape

6. zebra, lion, parrot, tiger

7. bike, car, tricycle, boat

8. newspaper, radio, book, magazine

9. fish, seal, whale, dolphin

10. drums, trumpet, saxophone, flute

Scroll down for the answers then try to make up some of your own.

Email me if you think of some good ones. Remember, it is more fun if they are tricky.

See your tomorrow! Mrs. L
