Read these two lines slowly. Line 1: cat, sun, kite, ball, drum. Line 2: cat, sun, kite, bell, drum. One word has changed. Which one? Now play a memory game. Put 6 small things on a tray. Let a friend look for 30 seconds. Then hide one thing. Can they spot what is missing?

Go further: Cheetah or Leopard?
Cheetahs and leopards are both spotty big cats. But look closely! A cheetah has round, solid black spots. It also has two black lines running from its eyes to its mouth. They look like tear marks! A leopard has no tear marks. Its spots are rosettes, shaped like little roses or rings. Next time you see a big cat picture, check its spots!
