Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Rim + travel on foot = a paved path on the side of the road

Answer: sidewalk

To stay safe always use the sidewalk and not the street.

2. It starts at your shoulder + deep holes = a place for deodorant

Answer: armpits

Most of us have two armpits. When you get older they might get smelly!

3. 12 inches + round toy = a popular sport

Answer: football

There are 12 inches in a foot and there are many types of toy balls.

4. To suspend from overhead + opposite of in = a location frequented by a group of people

Answer: hangout

A hangout can be anywhere that a group of people like to get together regularly with each other. Did you notice the compound word in the question? (overhead) :)

5. To deposit at the post office + crate = a receptacle for envelopes

Answer: mailbox

Mailboxes come in all shapes and sizes. They may hang on your house, be out in your yard near the sidewalk, be in a large box with lots of other smaller mailboxes or you may get your mail at the post office in a post office box.

6. Cereal grain + repast = a warm winter breakfast food

Answer: oatmeal

Oatmeal makes a wonderful breakfast, and the cookies you can make from it aren't bad either!

7. A babies' toy + serpent = a noisy reptile

Answer: rattlesnake

A rattlesnake is a poisonous snake. Snakes are beautiful and very important animals to our world, but NEVER touch one!

8. A big frog-like animal + a type of chair = poisonous mushroom

Answer: toadstool

While some mushrooms are yummy, (especially on pizza), some are very poisonous. Never eat one without an adult checking it first.

9. Human existence + sentry = a job at the beach

Answer: lifeguard

A lifeguard watches us while we swim at the beach or at a pool. Always listen to what he or she tells you to do and when he (or she) blows their whistle.

10. Mildly explode + maize = theater treat

Answer: popcorn

Popcorn was cultivated for many thousands of years by Native Americans before it was introduced to European settlers. The movie industry cemented its popularity by selling it at theaters.
