Make speaking practice fun and engaging with this Odd One Out Activity Bundle. Designed for ESL, ELL, and EFL learners as well as elementary classrooms, this set helps students practice critical thinking, vocabulary building, and oral communication. Students look at sets of images, decide which one doesn’t belong, and explain their reasoning. Because answers can be creative and flexible, this is a perfect activity to encourage student speaking, discussion, and justification skills.
With both printable task cards and a digital Google Slides version, this bundle gives you options for in-person centers, small group lessons, distance learning, or whole-class warm-ups. It’s a versatile addition to any ESL classroom, literacy center, or speaking lesson.
