What Does ‘Not Belong’ Mean?

When we say a word doesn’t belong, it means it’s different from the others in some way. It could be a different color, a different shape, or even do something different!

Let’s Try Some Examples!

Here are some groups of words. Can you find the one that doesn’t fit?

Red Blue Green Dog

Which word is not like the others? The answer is Dog! Why? Because Red, Blue, and Green are all colors 🎨. Dog is an animal 🐶.

Apple Banana Orange Car

Which word is the odd one out? It’s Car! Why? Because Apple, Banana, and Orange are all fruits 🍎🍌🍊. Car is a vehicle 🚗.

Run Jump Skip Table

The word that doesn’t belong is Table! Why? Because Run, Jump, and Skip are all actions you can do with your body 🏃‍♀️. Table is a thing you find in a room 🪑.

More Practice!
