Do you find yourself wishing you could grasp more natural teaching moments with your child? Do you have a child who resists anything contrived or in workbook form? Do you love unit studies, but have a hard time working in the nitty gritty details of grammar? Are you a Charlotte Mason or Ruth Beechick family who wants to get more out of copywork? Are you an unschooling or eclectic-learning family that wants to introduce small snippets of grammar into normal life? We are two moms who created this website for our own use, but would love to share it with others who are in the same boat. Dig in, explore, and let us know what you think!

I Spy & 20 Questions

I Spy and 20 Questions are guessing games.  They both help reinforce the concept of adjectives.  I Spy is limited to objects in the same room; 20 Questions can be any object in the known universe.

Basic: "I Spy"
The spy-er says, "I spy, with my little eye, something that is ...." and names the color of the object (noun).  The guesser responds with, "Is it ...?" and names another adjective.  The guesser may guess the name of the object when she has enough clues.

Advanced:  "20 Questions"
One person chooses an object (noun).  The guesser asks questions in the form of "Is it ....? [an adjective], or, "Is it ....?" [a noun].  The questions must have Yes/No answers.  The guesser tries to figure out the object in 20 Questions or less.
