Wednesday – I spy with my little eye – Mini contest (88)

Hello SteemKids and Parents!

I cannot wait to tell you what the word was this week!

But first, let’s take a last look at last week’s clues.

1. It is a 13-letter word starting with “O”
2. It copies something and
3. it captures something
4. It can have a dramatic effect

And the word is... “ONOMATOPOEIAS!”

Vocabulary.com tells us the following about “ONOMATOPOEIAS.”

In Greek, onomatopoeia (on-uh-mah-tuh-PEE-ah) simply means "word-making," but in English it refers to a very specific process of word-making: an attempt to capture the sound of something. Examples of onomatopoeia in English include burble, buzz, slosh, ratatat, and thud.

Onomatopoeias that we learn from a young age are: meow, roar, oink, and chirp. As we grow older, there are a few new ones we add: boom, splash, crash, and poof!

Back to the clues:

1. It copies something.
2. It captures the sound.
3. And it can, for sure, have a dramatic effect

That, kids and parents, is how we all learn the English language. Tsk..tsk!

For the first time in 87 weeks for the fourth week in a row, there is no winner!

That brings the prize for this week to 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 “B"

1. It is a 12-letter word
2. It is a hyphenated adjective
3. The ring happens at the end
4. It can be applicable to an item or a person
