Wednesday – I spy with my little eye – Mini contest (92)

in Steem Kids & Parents7 months ago (edited)



Hello SteemKids and Parents!

And here we are, in the middle of yet another week. Some of you had to wait very long this week to know if you were a winner or not.

So, yeah, let’s see how it went.

1. It is a 12-letter word starting with “P”
2. It can be compound word
3. It is particular to a person
4. Make choices and creates

The correct word is POLICYMAKERS!

Vocabulary.com shares some interesting facts about this word;

Both "policymaker" and "policy maker" have currency, and either can be used.
By binding the words into a compound word, you indicate that you view this as a particular role, or job title, and not just a person who makes policy. Splitting the word would allow you consider people that make more than just policies.

One of the participants shared a word that so easily could have been a fit, "Paramedicine".

There are two things that I find very interesting about this word.

  1. It can be a compound word.
    “Para” can be seen as a word (noun), an abbreviation (paragraph), or a prefix (parenteral) hence the clue “it can be a compound word.”

  2. The difference between paramedics and paramedicine

Paramedics: A person specially trained to provide emergency medical services, as in or from an ambulance, assist a doctor, or transport medicine.

Paramedicine: The field of medicine practiced by paramedics.
The three pillars of paramedicine are to assist with health care and medicine, to care for public health, and to create public safety.

This week, we do have a winner! Congratulations to @tripple-e!
I am also going to reward @missyleo with 1 STEEM for her effort.

With that, the prize for next week is back to 2 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 “I"

1. It is a 15-letter word
2. It's the fundamentals for many things
3. It is interconnected
4. isPrivate ≡ !isPublic

How to participate?

I spy with my little eyes, looking at it from a building perspective my answer for this week's "spy" is INFRASTRUCTURES

Why did I choose this word?
It relates to the cues given

  • it is 15 letters
  • infrastructure is the backbone for every build up in the society.
  • it is really interconnected with many other components, like the transportation infrastructure depends on the communication network to work efficiently.
  • we have private infrastructure and public infrastructure, depends on what is being worked on.
