This quiz introduces elementary school children to synonyms, the idea of spotting word patterns and identifying categories for groups of words. This will enhance their vocabulary and complement any Verbal Reasoning practice. Finding the odd one out will also add another dimension to their literacy and English skills.
We can group words by alphabet, categories or synonyms (words that mean the same thing). This quiz will ask you to spot the pattern and find the word that is the odd one out.
