Wednesday – I spy with my little eye – Mini contest (90)

Hello SteemKids and Parents!

With the first quarter of the year behind us, I could not help but wonder about the word "quarter." We know a quarter is one-fourth. In other words, it is when you divide something into four pieces. One of the pieces is then referred to as a "quarter." The word quarter comes from a Latin word that means “to divide.”

I leave you with a question today. Can we dive 0 into quarters?

Time to take a last look at last week’s clues and play our game.

1. It is a 12-letter word starting with the letter “S”
2. Unfairly accused and treated
3. It can happen to anyone
4. It can also happen to groups

And the word is... “SCAPEGOATING!”

Wikipedia explains “SCAPEGOATING”as follows;

"Scapegoating is the practice of singling out a person or group for unmerited blame and consequent negative treatment.

Scapegoating may be conducted by individuals against individuals (e.g. "he did it, not me!"), individuals against groups (e.g., "I couldn't see anything because of all the tall people"), groups against individuals (e.g., "He was the reason our team didn't win"), and groups against groups."

Now that you have learned all about scapegoating, I am sure that you must have experienced it before in your life.
My second question to you: is scapegoating not something that most siblings do to each other?

Unfortunately, there is no winner this week, and with that, the prize for this week’s contest is now 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 “S"

1. It is a 9-letter word
2. It is a compound word
3. It is not a star
4. It is not a plank
