article: You need a minimum of two players to play I spy, but otherwise there's no limit on how many people can play a game. Players are old enough to play when they have an understanding of the world around them and can easily name everyday objects. For each round of I spy, there is one person who is the spy. That person selects an object and has to get the other players to guess what the object was based on a clue. There are many ways you can determine who gets to be the first spy. For instance, you can draw cards or straws, ask whose birthday is coming up next, go by whose name is alphabetically first or last, or even have an outside person who isn't playing randomly select the first spy. In another variation on the game, the spy is instead called the king or queen bee. As the first spy, your job is to pick an object from your immediate surroundings that all the players can see. But once you've picked it, don't say what it is! Instead, think about the object to yourself, and come up with a few features and characteristics that make this object noteworthy. If you're in a moving vehicle, you will have to work quickly, otherwise the object will have passed before anyone else has a chance to see it. In order to get players to guess the object you've chosen, you have to provide them with a piece of information about the object. Use those noteworthy features you came up with and think about what you can say that will hint to your fellow players what object you're thinking of. Good adjectives to use can relate to the object's: Color Height Weight Texture Geometric features First letter Material A word that it sounds like In this game, the spy uses the phrase "I spy with my little eye, something that" and the then finishes that hint with the descriptor or adjective chosen to describe the object. For instance, if you picked a purple hat that a nearby person was wearing, you could finish with "something that you wear." When you say the hint out loud, be sure you aren't looking right at the object! Another variation on the hint phrasing is "I spy something and it's designed to keep you warm," for instance. For the bumblebee game, you can say "Bumble Bee Bumble Bee, I see something you don't see, and the color of it is purple," for example. Once you've provided the hint, give the other players a chance to look around and find the object. Then, go around the group and give each player a chance to guess what object you chose. I spy is usually played with yes or no answers (players ask if specific objects were the chosen ones and the spy says yes or no), but the spy can also provide additional hints to the players by saying whether the guess was hot or cold. If a guess was close to or similar to the chosen object, the spy says the guess was warm (close) or hot (very close). If a guess was nowhere near the object, the spy says cold, or cool if the guess was mostly off. If none of the players are able to guess the object, repeat the phrase and provide another hint. Choose a different adjective this time, and concentrate on a different feature. For instance, if your hint before told the players what color the object was, provide a hint about something else, like the object's material, shape, or texture. Go around in the same order and let each player guess again. When a player does guess correctly, that player becomes the new spy, and the game begins anew. If nobody is able to guess the object, you can either provide another hint, or the spy role can automatically pass to a new player. If all the players are young and not able to easily guess, consider having a set order in which everyone gets to be the spy.

article: Find the "c" curves of the stitching on the softball. Then, place your four fingers inside the "c" on the top of the ball, and your thumb in the middle of the "c" on the bottom of the ball. Make sure the ball lays flush to your palm. There are no hard rules about how to grip the softball in fast-pitch softball. However, using the 4-seam grip generally allows you to pitch the ball with the most power. If it feels comfortable, you can place the pads of your fingers on the seam of the top "c" curve to help you grip the ball more securely. First, stand on top of the pitcher's plate with your feet shoulder-width apart. Then, move your dominant foot (the foot that is on the same side as your throwing arm) just in front of the plate with your heel touching the front plate. Stagger your non-dominant foot (the foot on the side of your gloved hand) in back of the plate with your toes touching the plate. For example, if you're right-handed and throw with your right hand, stand with your right foot at in front of the plate with your left foot at the back. If you're left-handed, stand with your left foot at the front of the plate and your right toes touching the back of the plate. The pitcher's plate in fast-pitch softball is 6 inches (15cm)wide, so your feet will only be staggered a bit to start. Both of your feet have to be touching the plate when you start your pitch. Once you've gotten into the correct pitching stance, grip the ball with your throwing arm and place it into the palm of the glove. Then, bend your arms so that you're holding the ball and glove right in the center of your chest. Keep the ball in the glove until you're ready to start going through the pitching motions. Make sure that you maintain good posture by keeping your shoulders pulled back but relaxed. Keeping your shoulders back will help you maintain focus and control, while staying relaxed will avoid building tension in your muscles that can lead to injury.

The best thing you can do to improve your grades is focus and pay attention when the information is first presented to you. It's easy to lose focus when your teacher is going on and on about something that's not interesting, but you should not tune them out. Really listen to what they're saying and keep yourself engaged by asking questions and taking notes. . It might seem silly, but notes are actually a great way to help you improve your grades. Good notes are like a road map, when you go to study later on. They'll also show your teachers that you're serious about doing better in your classes. You don't have to write down everything your teacher says: just get down the basics. You know when you tell your parents about what happened to you during the day? That's how you should take notes. Just get the broad strokes, with the really important things written with greater detail. If you know something is confusing to you or seems really complex, write that down too! Even if you don't understand what your teacher is saying, you'll have a note to yourself that you need to look that up and get more information later. Write out your notes by hand, instead of on a computer. You will have an easier time remembering them this way. When you don't understand a concept or fact that your teachers talks about in lecture or that you encounter in your text books, don't be afraid to ask! Smart people don't just know everything instantly...they're curious enough to ask and find out when they don't know something. If you're nervous about asking in front of everyone else, you can also talk to your teacher outside of class time and ask about getting some extra help or explanation. You also shouldn't feel like your teacher would be angry about you not understanding. Teachers are happy when you're interested enough and invested enough to ask for help. If your teacher doesn't explain it in a way that you can understand or if you still feel uncomfortable, try going on the Internet to find a new explanation. You can often find YouTube videos covering common school concepts, and there are also forums and other websites that might deal with your question and explain it to you better. Your teacher will probably give you a syllabus at the beginning of the year or semester. This is a written outline of all of the subjects you will study over the course of the year. You should go over this syllabus carefully and ask your teacher about anything on it that doesn't make sense. Paired with your notes, it's another great road map to your learning. You might not realize it, but your problems concentrating might be because you're hungry! Try eating a small snack between classes, as well as a drink of water, in order to help your brain concentrate and have the best chance at absorbing the material. Your snack should be high in protein, which will give you the most energy. Try salami sticks or a handful of almonds or soy nuts. Everyone learns in different ways. Some people learn better when they're moving and using their body. Some people learn better with lots of pictures and visuals. Some people learn better when they can hear things like words and music. Think about what helps you remember things the most and then find ways to work that into how you learn your course material. For example, if you're an auditory learner (someone who learns better with sounds), ask your teacher if you can record lectures to listen to again later. If you don't know your learning style, you can take a test here or you can take any number of other online tests. You can also just analyze your own classroom experiences. If you're a visual learner, draw up some charts or webs which visually represent the information you need to learn and how the ideas are connected.
