A logic game for 3-5 year old kids to learn classification of common objects. In each task, 4 objects are shown, 3 of which belong to one category (for instance: footwear, toys, dishes, furniture) and the fourth object doesnt. The child must find this object.
By grouping objects, children learn to differentiate the important parameters of an object (I.e. their purpose) from other, random ones. For example, for various articles of clothing, the common property is that people wear them, while their size or color is non-essential. So, to find the odd object, the child needs to first determine the most important classification property.
Categories of objects in the game include toys, dishes, tools, clothes, school supplies, flowers, mushrooms, fruits, vegetables, candies, mammals, birds, insects, and marine creatures. The full version of the game contains 222 tasks.
