You can’t say that!

Choose an object from your home and describe it without using the name of the object or saying exactly what it does.

For example, you may choose a lamp as the object for your child to guess.

You might say, ‘I am often made of wood or plastic, but I also have some fabric parts. I am smaller than you, and I am most useful at night’.

Descriptions you would avoid (at least at the beginning) would be things like: I have a shade, I give off light, people use me to see in the dark, etc.

See how creative you and your child can be with your descriptions!
