Odd One Out: Hobbies & Free Time

Here’s another odd one out activity! This time, your students get to practice the vocabulary of Hobbies and Free time!

Instructions

Each card contains 5 words or phrases. One of them doesn’t fit. Students must find the odd one out and explain why. Play as a group or let your students try to find all 9 answers, then check them as a class.

Give a point for each correct answer (the odd one out and the explanation).

You can also give students a point if they come up with a logical answer of their own. Once you finish all the cards, you can also have them come up with their own odd-one-out cards for the class on the topic of hobbies and free time.

Below are the suggested answers:

1) arts and crafts – we use the verb play with the other activities. We do arts and crafts. 

2)  gardening – we use the verb go with the other activities. 

3)  reading – with the other activities, we produce something / they are creative hobbies. 

4)  watch a movie – usually the other activities are outdoor activities. 

5) picture – we use the verb do with the other words. 

6) hockey – the other sports use a ball. 

7) skydiving – the other activities are winter activities. 

8) hiking – usually the other activities are indoor activities. 

9) running – the other activities use your hands. 

Description

Although this activity is not meant as a lesson on its own, it is an excellent companion or alternative to the usual textbook activities about hobbies & free time.

You can use it as a warm-up, a review of useful vocabulary, or an end-of-lesson activity.

Besides, just like our other jukebox activities, it works as well for groups as it does for one-on-one lessons, offline or online!

Have fun!

As a teacher of ESL and French as a foreign language for several years, I have had the opportunity to work in several countries and with a wide variety of students. Now my job got even better: I get to help make your lessons all pretty and fun! Rather cool, I'd say.

It takes a team of 13 to create and produce this material. In order for that to continue, please think about purchasing your own subscription to ESL Expertz and encourage your colleagues to do the same. We appreciate your confidence and support!
