Hello SteemKids and Parents!

I don’t know what excites me the most this week.
Is it because today is Wednesday and I am excited because we have a winner, or is it because it is Easter and my favorite chocolate is freely available? Easter eggs! I just love them.

Happy Easter!
May the true meaning of Easter not get lost in the Easter egg hunt. ✞

First things first, a last look at last week’s clues.

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

And the word is... “BELL-BOTTOMED!”

• It is a hyphenated adjective
• What rings? A bell
• At the end? At the bottom

Um, and now you are curious to know how it can be applicable to an item or a person.

Let’s take a look at how the Cambridge Dictionary explains bell-bottom.

(of trousers) very wide below the knee:
He grew his hair long and dressed in bell-bottomed trousers.
Bell-bottom jeans go in and out of style.

(of a person) wearing trousers that are very wide below the knee:
In the 1960s, conservative parents struggled to understand their long-haired, bell-bottomed kids.

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 12-letter word
2. Unfairly accused and treated
3. It can happen to anyone
4. It can also happen to groups

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 2 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!
