Wednesday – I spy with my little eye – Mini contest (84)

Hello SteemKids and Parents!

Well, I must start by giving those who participated in last week's contest a compliment. I could see how you used the clues to get to your words. Well done!

One thing is certain, and that is that you are going to kick yourself when you get to know the word you were all looking for.

I am sharing last week’s clues one more time.

1. It is a 10-letter word starting with “C”
2. It is a compound word
3. It cannot be eaten
4. Mainly applicable to the young

➺ It starts with C, and it is a ten-letter word. That is clear enough.

➺ It is a compound word. It is two words that are put together to form one word.

➺ It is something that starts with C, but you cannot eat it… It's a bit difficult to guess as there are plenty of words that start with C.

➺It happens mainly to the young... Now, what can happen, mostly to the young, that starts with C and you cannot eat it?

And the word is... “CHICKENPOX!”

Let me share five things about chickenpox that you might not know.

1. Did you know that another name for chickenpox is varicella?
2. Did you know that it is what we call an “airborne” disease?
3. Did you know that the day before the rash it is on its most contagious?
4. Did you know that while pregnant the mother can spread it to the baby?
5. Did you know that the fatality rate is much higher under adults than children?

That, dear kids and parents, is how we not only learn about words but also the deeper meaning of them.

And we don’t have a winner!
That brings the prize for this week to 4 STEEM

Time for your next game!

The game is exactly like last week;

The game “I spy with my little eye” is sort of a detective game. The “spy” is the person who sees something, and the rest of the players must then guess what the spy is seeing.

Of importance, it must be something that you can see and not something you can feel, like an emotion.

BUT, “I spy with my little eye” is so much more than just a spy game;

• It is a thinking game
• It teaches you how to use your logic and reasoning and
• It grows your vocabulary

The contest

For today, I am going to give you the letter with which the word starts plus 4 points, or “clues,” that you can take into consideration to figure out what the word can be.

Ready or not… let’s learn, play, and win!

I spy with my little eye something that begins with the letter “L"

1. It is as 11-letter word
2. It has an affix
3. It is not controlled
4. It can lead to confusion

How to participate?

• You can reply to this post by posting your word, or you can write an article about your word
• You can only enter once

What is up for grabs?

The first correct answer will take home 4 STEEM this week.

The word and the winner will be announced next week on Wednesday; therefore, make sure you don't send in your answer later than Tuesday 23:59 UTC.

If there is no winner, the prize will carry over until there is one.

Until next week, keep guessing!
