How to use this activity

A noun names a person, animal, place or thing. The three extra words in each set do not match the picture. Six scenes also have an optional verb challenge.

Choose a chapter below, or view every picture. Check your choices when you are ready. “Show the three words” reveals the answer and is counted separately from independent work.

Use Tab to move between controls and Space to tick a box. Enlarge a picture for a closer look. Image descriptions support screen readers and may name pictured objects.
