I Spy Board Game Purple makes color recognition and visual discrimination practice exciting, engaging, and meaningful for young learners.


This fast-paced I Spy game helps children strengthen visual discrimination, visual tracking, vocabulary, articulation, and fine motor skills through hands-on, interactive play.

Students stay focused and energized as they race to find bright purple objects like balloons, butterflies, teddy bears, grapes, puzzle pieces, and more. It’s an easy-prep, reusable activity that works beautifully for preschool, kindergarten, ELL students, speech therapy, OT sessions, or even a rainy-day indoor recess.

From circle time to small group learning, this I Spy game builds color recognition and visual scanning skills while keeping kids motivated and involved.

If you’re teaching the color of the week or adding high-interest activities to your literacy or sensory centers, this purple theme brings bold, focused learning to your classroom.


What’s Included in the Purple Objects I Spy Game


  • 10 colorful game boards filled with detailed purple objects that grab attention and encourage careful searching. Balloons, dinosaurs, coffee cups, butterflies, and more make it easy to reinforce color recognition and object identification while supporting early learners and students who need strong visual practice.

  • 40 matching I Spy image cards to flip, compare, and find. Kids strengthen vocabulary, articulation, and visual discrimination as they race to locate the same purple image on their board.

  • 20 printable star tokens to keep score or motivate students. Swap them out for mini erasers, pom-poms, or counting cubes to turn this into a fine motor or sensory activity that doubles as a reward system.

Teacher-friendly instructions that make setup quick and stress-free. Just print, laminate, cut, and play. The step-by-step guide helps teachers, therapists, and substitutes use this I Spy game with confidence.

Skills Strengthened with the Purple Objects I Spy Game


Language and Vocabulary Development

  • Build vocabulary through repeated exposure to purple-themed words and everyday objects.
  • Target articulation goals by encouraging students to say each word aloud before earning a token.
  • Support ELL and ESL learners by connecting spoken English words with clear, colorful visuals that strengthen comprehension.

Cognitive and Visual Perception Skills

  • Strengthen visual discrimination as children search for small details among busy game boards.
  • Improve visual tracking and visual scanning skills while racing to find each match.
  • Encourage focus and attention with high-interest images that keep learners motivated.

Social-Emotional and Fine Motor Skills

 

  • Promote turn-taking and cooperation during small group or partner play.
  • Strengthen fine motor control as children place tokens, mini erasers, or manipulatives on their matches.
  • Build confidence and positive peer interaction through structured, successful gameplay.

How to Play


  1. Choose one Purple Objects I Spy board and place it in the center of the group.
  2. Deal the image cards face-down or let students draw from a shared stack.
  3. Players flip one card at a time and race to find the matching purple object on their board.
  4. The first player to point to or touch the correct picture earns a token.
  5. Keep playing until all the cards are used. The player with the most tokens wins!
For independent play, give one student a game board and the full set of cards. They flip through each card on their own, covering matches with tokens or mini erasers. 

This option is ideal for quiet centers, early finishers, or independent ELL practice that still feels playful.


Bonus Play Ideas


  • Independent I Spy: A student flips through the cards and covers matches alone for extra practice with color recognition and focus.
  • Parallel Play: Two students each have their own board and deck, playing side-by-side at their own pace. This variation supports learners who thrive in calm, non-competitive environments.
  • Sensory Twist: Use textured manipulatives such as pom-poms or fuzzy balls as tokens for an added tactile sensory experience during play.
