Hello SteemKids and Parents!

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE Wednesdays, as they are in the middle of the week and an indication that it is almost the weekend.

Yes, it is Wednesday today, and it marks another week of Steemians not wearing their thinking caps. Umh…
You’ve guessed it right: for the third week, we don’t have a winner.

Before we get to the answer, let’s take another look at the clues.

1. It is a 14-letter word starting with “D”
2. It is the removal of something
3. Replace with something else
4. Can cause a lot of damage

The word is... “DEFORESTATIONS!”

Deforestation is the process of destroying a forest and replacing it with something else.

Now, was that difficult? I don’t think so.

Three interesting facts about DEFORESTATIONS”

1. Based on satellite images from 2002 to 2019, the loss of tropical forests worldwide is greater than the size of Belgium.
2. The world lost 11 soccer fields of primary rainforest every minute in 2022.
3. The highest proportion of forest lost was in Ghana, followed by Bolivia, Angola, Cameroon and Colombia. This is also in 2022.

That brings the prize for this week to our highest ever, 8 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 “A"

1. It is a 13-letter word
2. It is public and official
3. It is informative
4. It can be seen and can be heard

How to participate?

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

What is up for grabs?

The first correct answer will take home 8 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!
