Skills Students Practice

Primary Academic Skills

• Number recognition 1-10: Children identify numerals on the cards and game boards.
• Counting 1-10: Children count chicks, bunnies, eggs and ten frames.
• One-to-one correspondence: Children touch and count each object once as they match quantities.
• Subitizing: Children begin to recognize small quantities quickly without counting every object.
• Visual scanning and visual discrimination: Children search a full board and notice the details that set similar Easter pictures apart.
• Visual motor skills: Pointing to matches and handling cards and tokens builds hand-eye coordination.

Secondary Life & Learning Skills

• Taking turns
• Waiting during group play
• Maintaining attention
• Using mathematical language
• Working independently
• Building confidence during group participation

How to Use It

Step 1: Choose an Easter I Spy board and place it where all players can easily see the pictures and counting visuals.

Step 2: Deal the Easter image cards face down so each player has a small stack. On each turn, all players flip their top card at the same time.

Step 3: Everyone scans the board to find the matching image. The first player to point to the correct picture earns a token. Keep flipping and searching until all the cards have been used. The player with the most tokens wins!

More Ways to Play

• Independent I Spy: A student flips through the cards and covers matches on their own board for quiet extra practice.
• Parallel Play: Two students each have their own board and deck and play side by side at their own pace. This works well for learners who thrive in calm, non-competitive settings.
• Sensory Twist: Use textured manipulatives such as pom-poms or fuzzy balls as tokens for added tactile input during play.

Easy Differentiation

Children come to this game with different number sense, visual skills and comfort levels with group play. It is easy to adjust so everyone can join in.

For Children Who Need More Support

• Start with one board and a small set of image cards
• Play cooperatively and collect tokens as a team
• Name each numeral together before the game begins

For On-Level Practice

• Play the race version as written with a partner
• Say the number on each card when you find its match
• Rotate through different game boards

For an Extra Challenge

• Use a short language frame such as "I spy ___."
• Build visual scanning, visual tracking and pointing skills during OT sessions
• Use the pictures to make new words easier to understand for ELL and ESL learners
