Math time doesn’t have to mean worksheets and groans from your students. With the I Spy Board Game Math Time edition, your classroom will light up with giggles, excitement, and lots of “I found it!” moments.

Each board is packed with colorful math manipulatives like dice, coins, base ten blocks, shapes, and rulers.

Kids think they’re just playing a game, but you’ll know they’re building vocabulary, practicing articulation, and strengthening visual discrimination skills.

It’s the perfect way to make math centers, small groups, or even rainy day recess fun, hands-on, and stress-free.

What’s Included in the Math Time I Spy Game Set

10 full-color game boards Bright, busy boards filled with math manipulatives and classroom objects keep students engaged as they scan for shapes, coins, ten frames, and more. Every board is like a mini treasure hunt that sneaks in vocabulary practice while kids play.
40 math image cards Students flip over colorful math-themed cards and race to find the matching picture. It’s fast-paced, fun, and builds both attention and articulation without kids even realizing they’re working.
20 printable tokens Use the included stars or mix it up with mini erasers, pom-poms, or bingo chips. Tokens make the game feel extra special and add a fine motor challenge as kids place them on the board.
Teacher-friendly directions You don’t need hours of prep or complicated instructions. Just print, laminate, and play. This set is truly grab-and-go for math centers, therapy sessions, or sub plans.

Skills Strengthened with the Math Time I Spy Game

Math and Language Development Students expand math vocabulary by spotting manipulatives they already use in class. Words like “cube,” “dice,” “graph,” and “coin” become part of their everyday language as they play, making this a powerful support for speech therapy and classroom communication.

Cognitive and Visual Skills The detailed game boards challenge kids to scan, compare, and notice small differences. This strengthens visual discrimination and builds attention skills, all while kids are racing to be the first to shout, “I found it!”

Social-Emotional and Fine Motor Growth Turn-taking, cooperation, and celebrating each other’s wins make this more than just a math game. Kids gain confidence as they succeed, and the use of tokens or counters sneaks in extra fine motor practice too.

How to Play the Math Time I Spy Game

Choose a math-themed board and place it where everyone can see.
Deal out the image cards face down.
Everyone flips a card at the same time.
The first player to spot the match earns a token.
Keep playing until the cards are gone, then count tokens to crown the winner.

Independent Play Option: A single student flips through the deck and covers matches on their board with tokens or erasers. This option is wonderful for early finishers, math centers, or when you need a quiet focus activity that still reviews math vocabulary.

Perfect For

Math Centers with Energy and Excitement Kids scan, match, and shout with joy while practicing math vocabulary and number recognition. It’s a math center they’ll actually look forward to.

Speech Therapy that Feels Like Play Saying math vocabulary words out loud during gameplay makes articulation practice fun and natural instead of repetitive drills.

ELL and ESL Support Clear visuals paired with repeated play help English Language Learners confidently connect math words to familiar objects.

Occupational Therapy Sessions The simple actions of flipping cards, scanning boards, and placing tokens build visual scanning and fine motor skills in an engaging way.

Sub Plans and Indoor Recess This activity is a lifesaver when you need something easy to explain that still keeps kids on task and happy.

Homeschool and Family Game Time Reusable and sibling-friendly, this game works across age levels and feels more like family fun than a formal lesson.

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!

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.
