Bob: And now it's time to play One of These Things. One of these things is not like the other, one of these things doesn't belong. Can you guess which thing is not like the other before I finish this song?
(the kids look at the objects -- three spoons and one feather -- and examine them)
Bob: Did you guess which thing is not like the other? Did you guess with all your might? If you guessed this thing (points to the featehr) is not like the others, well then you are absolutely right!
Kid #5: I guessed it.
Kid #2: Me, too.
