Teacher’s Instructions:
This is an activity used either at the end of a
lesson to test learning or at the beginning of
the next lesson to test recall. The resource
shows four phrases, three of which are linked
and the fourth is not (the red herring).
Students must work out the link and which of
the four phrases is the red herring.
