Cookie Monster and Ernie are having a super fun time playing a game together! This game is all about looking closely at things and figuring out which one is different from the others. Let’s see how they play!
With a happy song playing, Cookie Monster asks Ernie to join him in the game. The song helps them think about how things can be grouped together. It’s time to use their brains and have some fun!
Ernie looks at the items in front of him. He sees a hamburger, a pizza, and a cookie. They all look round! But then he sees a fajita, which is not round. Ernie thinks the fajita is the odd one out because of its shape.
But wait! Cookie Monster has a different idea. He says that the hamburger, pizza, and fajita are all savory foods, which means they are not sweet. The cookie, however, is sweet and usually eaten as a dessert. This makes Ernie think again about his choice.
As they keep playing, Ernie discovers something funny. The hamburger is actually a “cookie burger,” the pizza is a “cookie-roni pizza,” and the fajita is a “cookie fajita.” Everything is made from cookies! This makes the game even more fun and silly.
In the end, Cookie Monster and Ernie have a great time playing their game. They enjoy the different cookie creations and laugh together. This game shows how learning can be fun and creative, especially when cookies are involved!
Shape Hunt: Go on a shape hunt around your home or classroom! Look for items that are round, like a cookie, and items that are not round, like a book. Make a list of the things you find and draw them. Can you find more round or non-round items? Share your findings with a friend and see if they found similar shapes!
Sweet vs. Savory Taste Test: With the help of an adult, gather a few snacks that are sweet and a few that are savory. Taste each one and decide if it is sweet or savory. Make a chart to show your results. Which do you like better, sweet or savory? Talk about why you think some foods are sweet and others are savory.
Create Your Own Odd One Out Game: Draw or cut out pictures of different foods. Choose three that are similar in one way and one that is different. Ask a friend or family member to find the odd one out and explain why. Then, switch roles and let them create a game for you!
