The game's question
Read each clue aloud and stop as soon as you can see him at the door.
Long before a phone in every pocket, news came through the door. Twice a day you listened for footsteps on the path, then the letterbox rattled. A familiar figure with a heavy bag on his shoulder brought letters from far away, and sometimes a card from the cousins. You knew his face, in all weathers. Who brought the post to the house?
- The postman
- The baker
- The milkman
Need a hint?
Knock twice on the table and pretend to push a letter through a slot. The same man every day, rain or shine. What did your mum or dad most look forward to from him?
See the answer
Answer: The postman – twice a day, with his bag over his shoulder.
Why this game : Faces from the street stay with us, and so does the joy of a letter landing on the mat.
