Anchor A1 level colour vocabulary with "Odd One Out - Colours". This lexical classification exercise is a powerful tool to quickly consolidate the recognition and memorisation of colour adjectives (red, blue, yellow...). By asking students to identify the odd one out (a feeling or a size) among the colours, the resource develops their analytical skills and strengthens their ability to categorise words according to their function and semantic field. This is the ideal activity to prepare for describing objects or people.

Objective & Plot Summary
The main pedagogical objective is to strengthen the recognition and memorisation of A1-level vocabulary related to colours (red, blue, yellow, silver, etc.) by developing the ability to categorise and identify an intruder adjective that does not belong to this semantic field. The resource is an "Odd One Out" exercise consisting of seven lines. In each line, three or four words are colours, while the odd one out is a basic A1 adjective denoting a feeling (e.g.: happy, sad) or a dimension (e.g.: big, long, tall). The student must circle the adjective that is not a colour.
Suggested Procedure
Before the activity (~5 min): RECALLING COLOURS AND THE ODD ONE OUT
-
Getting started: The teacher distributes the worksheet. Write 'Colours' on the board. Ask students to name classroom objects using a basic colour (e.g.: "The board is **white**") to reactivate vocabulary.
-
Introducing the plot: Remind them of the 'Odd One Out' rule. Emphasise that this time, all words are adjectives, but only one is not a colour.
During the activity (~15 min): COMPARING ADJECTIVES
-
Step 1: Individual resolution (8 min). Students read and circle the odd one out. Emphasise that the correct answer relies on the semantic nature of the word (what it describes).
-
Step 2: Peer verification and justification (7 min). In pairs, students compare their answers and prepare their justification: "Happy is the odd one out because **red, blue, and green** are **colours**" or "Big is the odd one out because it is about **size**".
After the activity (~10 min): CREATING YOUR OWN DESCRIPTION
-
Collective correction: Proceed with oral correction, using the pairs' justifications. Classify the odd-one-out adjectives by category on the board (Feelings, Size).
-
Oral production: Ask students to choose a classroom object and describe it using a colour from the list and, if possible, an odd-one-out adjective (e.g.: "The ruler is **yellow** and **long**" or "My pencil case is **black** and **big**").
Adaptations
-
To simplify: First, propose a phase where students classify all the words from the worksheet into three columns on the board (Colours, Feelings, Size) to identify the categories before searching for them line by line.
-
To deepen: Introduce the concept of adjective agreement and position in a simple sentence (It is a **big red** ball) by using the Adjective-Colour pairs found in the worksheet.
