The game's question
Pause as soon as the object is back before your eyes—there’s no need to rush.
Clean laundry was not enough—it had to be smooth, too. You let the heavy object heat up, then held it near your cheek to feel if it was hot enough. Back and forth it went over the sheet, until it glided without a single crease. The pressed laundry, folded in tidy stacks in the closet, was the pride of the house. What smoothed out the wrinkles?
- An iron
- A hair dryer
- A broom
Need a hint?
Act it out: back and forth over the sheet, then the hand held near the cheek to check the heat. Its name is also the name of a metal. Who did the ironing at your house, and on which day?
See the answer
Answer: An iron—hot, heavy, and always on the move.
Why this game : The motion of ironing lives in the arms. It stirs up pride in careful work—and the wash days of long ago, full of stories.
