Place four items on a tray in front of the children and say, “One of these things is not like the others. Can you find it and tell me in what way it is different?” Repeat several times with different groups of items. Be sure to create groups in which there are two different answers. For example, you might make a group of four bottle caps – two small green ones, one small red one and one large green one. Three of the caps are the same because they are green and the fourth one is different because it is red. However, there are also three small caps and one large one. This can be done in small group.
