Why Teachers Love It

• Skill practice that feels like play: Colors, emotions, numbers and shapes come to life in a game children ask to play again.
• One set of rules for every game: Once children learn to play, you can switch to a new game in seconds.
• Repeat play stays fresh: Multiple board layouts in every game make it harder for children to remember where each picture is hiding.
• Games for the whole year: Seasonal and holiday counting and shape games fit right into your themes from back to school through summer.
• Easy to adjust: The clear structure makes it simple to change expectations and support different ability levels.
• Quick prep, built to last: Print on card stock, laminate and cut apart the pieces once, then reuse the games all year.

Skills Students Practice

Primary Academic Skills

• Visual scanning and visual discrimination: Players search a busy board to find the picture that matches their card.
• Matching: Each round asks children to match their I Spy card to the same image on the board.
• Color recognition: The Blue, Red, Yellow, Purple, Orange, Green and Pink games give practice naming colors and finding objects of each color.
• Emotion identification: The Farm, Zoo and Back to School Emotions games invite children to name the feelings they see.
• Number recognition: Ten counting games give practice with numbers 1-10.
• 2D shape recognition: Nine seasonal and holiday shape games help children spot and name flat shapes such as triangles and squares.
• Vocabulary and language: Naming the pictures and describing what they see builds expressive language.
• Focus and attention: Because it's a race, children stay alert and engaged from round to round.

Secondary Life & Learning Skills

• Taking turns
• Following directions
• Maintaining attention
• Waiting during group play
• Winning or losing gracefully
• Building confidence during group participation
• Working independently

How to Use It

Step 1: Print the game you want on card stock and laminate the I Spy boards, image cards and tokens. Cut apart the pieces.

Step 2: Set up for 2-4 players. Deal the I Spy cards evenly between players and stack them face down. Each round, everyone flips their top card at the same time and races to find that picture on the board.

Step 3: The first player to find the picture wins a token card. Keep flipping and searching until all the cards have been used. The player with the most tokens wins! Make extra copies of the picture cards for longer game play.

Additional Ways to Play

• Independent Play: Give one student a game board and the full stack of cards. The student chooses a card and covers the matching picture with a mini eraser or game marker. Perfect for morning tubs, early finishers or quiet time.
• Parallel Play: Give two students their own identical game boards. Divide the image cards and let each student search their own board. A great option for students who struggle with shared spaces or competitive play.

Easy Differentiation

Every group has children with different attention spans, scanning skills and comfort with competition. These I Spy games are easy to adjust for each of them.

For Children Who Need More Support

• Use the Independent Play option so there is no race
• Play with fewer image cards in a round
• Name the picture, color, feeling, number or shape aloud before children search
• Point to one section of the board to narrow the search

For On-Level Practice

• Play the standard race with 2-4 players
• Switch to a new board each round
• Rotate through the seasonal counting and shape games during the year

For an Extra Challenge

• Ask players to name the color, emotion, number or shape before they can win the token
• Have children describe where the picture is on the board using words like above, below and next to
• In the emotions games, ask children to share a time they felt that way
• Add extra copies of the picture cards for longer games

For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support

• Use the pictures to practice vocabulary and target sounds
• Practice feeling words with the emotions games
• Use Parallel Play for children who need their own space
• Have children cover pictures with a game marker or mini eraser for fine motor practice
• Give extra processing time and model each step before children begin

Perfect For

• Math and literacy centers
• Small groups
• Partner games
• Circle time
• Morning tubs
• Early finishers and transitions
• Indoor recess and quiet time
• Speech and occupational therapy
• ELL support
• RTI and early intervention
• Homeschool
