Explanation:
Although I actually say "je vois avec mes petits yeux" when I play this game with my son apparently the proper name is "mon petit œil voit".

neutral  Tony M: N'en déplaise à Montessori, this game is all about "seeeing" (observing), and I don't think it is helpful to emphasize the "guessing" aspect in an educational context.

neutral  Elisabeth Gootjes: Dans la réf. donnée ici, il s'agit d'un jeu servant à travailler les phonèmes, ce qui est un peu différent. Son s/s-titrage "Je devine", dans ce cas, fait sens. La musicalité de cette proposition se prête moins bien au dit jeu, ce que confirme la pratique
