You Don't Belong!
Math Name three objects in the classroom and have a student identify the one that doesn't belong (i.e. desk, chair, plant). Allow that student to name the next three items. At another time, play the game using objects that are found in a grocery store (banana, shampoo, peach), in a gym (hockey stick, baseball, basketball), etc.
