Bring the excitement of the auto shop right into your classroom with this Mechanic Theme I Spy Board Game!

Perfect for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary learners, this engaging game blends the fun of visual search with vocabulary building, making it an ideal choice for speech therapy, literacy centers, occupational therapy, and ESL/ELL instruction.

With bright, mechanic-themed illustrations featuring cars, tools, auto shop workers, and garage equipment, students will be racing to “spy” their images while building important skills like visual discrimination, attention to detail, and expressive language.

The fast-paced format keeps kids engaged, while the hands-on gameplay supports cooperation, turn-taking, and communication.

What’s Included in the Auto Mechanic Theme I Spy Board Game

10 colorful mechanic-themed game boards featuring community helper mechanics, cars, tools, and auto shop supplies
40 mechanic vocabulary image cards to match with the game boards
20 printable token cards for scoring or reinforcement
Step-by-step teacher instructions for quick setup and multiple play variations

Primary Skills Reinforced

Visual Discrimination: Students scan and compare to find exact matches quickly.
Vocabulary Development: Connect real-world police tools, uniforms, and symbols with words and concepts.
Attention & Focus: Fast-paced play keeps students engaged and attentive.
Language & Communication: Players name, describe, and talk about what they see.

Secondary Skills (SEL + Life Skills)

Turn-Taking & Cooperation – Promote patience, sportsmanship, and positive peer interaction
Focus & Attention – Keep learners engaged with high-interest, goal-oriented play
Fine Motor Skills – Flip cards, grab tokens, and point to matches to build coordination

The Auto Mechanic Theme I Spy Board Games are Perfect For:

Literacy centers & small group warm-ups
Speech therapy & articulation practice
Occupational therapy visual scanning activities
ELL/ESL vocabulary building
Homeschool learning baskets
Early finisher activities & rainy day fun
Sub plans or no-prep day fillers

How to Play the Auto Mechanic Theme I Spy Flip Board Game:

Choose a game board and place it in the center for all to see.
Deal the image cards face down into equal stacks for each player.
Flip your top card and race to find the matching picture on the game board.
First to “spy” it wins a token for that round.
Continue until all cards have been played... player with the most tokens wins!

Bonus Play Options:

In independent play, a single student works through the deck of image cards on their own. They flip one card at a time, search for the matching picture on the game board, and cover it with a mini eraser or token.

This option is perfect for building focus, visual scanning, and vocabulary skills without the pressure of competing against others.

In parallel play, two students each have their own I Spy game board and set of cards. They play side-by-side, flipping and matching cards at their own pace.

This approach works well for children who need personal space, are just beginning to join group activities, or who thrive in a more relaxed, non-competitive environment.

Literacy centers and guided reading warm-ups
RTI and small group interventions
Speech therapy articulation games
Occupational therapy visual scanning practice
ESL/ELL vocabulary reinforcement
Homeschool morning baskets

Just what I needed!

I love the "Flip" activities. They're always colorful and engaging. These activities reinforce childrens use of language, labeling, identifying of vocabulary associated with specific themes. My students in the past have loved the Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall flip, so when I wanted to update my beginning of the school year activities I happened to find the September themed one and knew I had to purchase it. I laminate my mats and have the kids cover the images with colored small or large game chips, vase jewels or playdough. If the images on the mats are too busyi make sure to uave extra copies for the kids to engage in matching the images. The kids love it!

Thank you

I am greatly appreciative of this content. I have developmentally delayed preschool baby 3-5 year olds and this really is helping them a lot. I wish I had pictures, but I don't yet.

Animal Theme I Spy 'Flip' Board Game

We LOVE it

Great game. My students love it and my kids at home. Lots of fun times playing this game. I love the variety in boards. My suggestion for customers is to print it on cardstock so you can't see through the cards.

Beginning blends and digraph clip cards

My kindergarten students are using these clip cards as a review activity in our morning bins. This is a fun review activity that also helps build fine motor skills.
