Wednesday – I spy with my little eye – Mini contest (24)

Hello kids and parents!

It is the last Wednesday of 2022 and we are going out with a bang!

We've got a winner! Yip, someone is receiving 8 STEEM today.

I know you are excited to see who it is but let's first take one more look at last week's clues.

The clues;

1. It is a 12-letter word
2. It is associated with a certain time of the year
3. It comes from a tree
4. It has spiritual as well as medical uses

And the word is ... FRANKINCENSE!

Frankincense is a paste (gum-like material) from the trunk of the Boswelia tree. Incisions are made in the trunks of the trees.

The frankincense then exudes (discharge) as a milky juice that hardens as it is exposed to air.

Frankincense oil is used for aromatherapy and as a fragrance in perfumes, soaps, and lotions. The Egyptians used it with the embalming of their kings and queens and the Greeks for any illnesses. They considered it worth far more than gold.

In Christian tradition, frankincense was one of the three gifts offered by the three wise men to baby Jesus.

Congratulations to @manuelhooks who got this one right!

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” which 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 a 10-letter word
2. It can turn something into something else
3. It is very versatile
4. The synonym for this item starts with a "B"
