Look at the six pictures. What can you see?
Three words. Two are friends. One is not.

Not drawn yet

Make your own set of three for your grown-up to solve.
Print the one that fits today. Same skill, three depths — and on this sheet they differ like this.
The grown-up says the two that match first, then asks for the third.
Fewer items, more pictures, hints included, parent reads the instructions.
Five sets of three.
The standard task, recognition, practice and explanation.
Four words per set, one odd.
Open-ended. Explain why, make your own example, use it somewhere new.
The same guide that is printed on the back page, so you can read it before you decide to print anything.
The answers
1 شَمْس · 2 بَيْت · 3 وَلَد · 4 قَمَر · 5 مَاء
If they get stuck
Say only the endings, nothing else: اب، اب، مس. The odd one becomes obvious.
