The game's question
One of you reads the riddle, the other guesses.
Here is a riddle. What do you call a letter with no envelope, one you can keep and collect? It has a picture on one side and, on the other, a stamp and a few words. Very often those words were ‘Wish you were here’. Work it out together, then tell each other where yours came from.
- A postcard
- A letter
- A telegram
Need a hint?
Pretend to write a few lines on the back of a small card, on holiday. You chose it from a stand that turned round, then slipped it into a postbox.
See the answer
Answer: A postcard – a picture on the front, ‘Wish you were here’ on the back.
Why this game : Guessing an everyday thing from its description is good fun, and it opens memories of holidays and words sent home.
