...ecret object, the child is categorizing and analyzing information, making inferences, and drawing conclusions.The goal is to make logical guesses and identify all 32 secret objects by listening to the four clues presented one by one through hearing alone. Each of the clues read aloud by the adult. The clues get increasingly more specific. The game fosters two-way conversation and critical thinking skills.Once the secret object is revealed the next activity is for the child to remember and use each of the clues to clearly describe the object in connected speech.
