Filled with bright paintbrushes, scissors, glue, beads, and all the favorite craft supplies, this playful I Spy game is a must-have for your art theme, school theme, or indoor recess time.

Kids won’t even realize they’re building important academic and social skills because they’ll be too busy racing to “spy” the right picture first!

This versatile I Spy board game works beautifully in preschool, kindergarten, speech therapy, occupational therapy, ELL lessons, and even as a grab-and-go activity for sub plans.

Whether you’re focusing on articulation practice, vocabulary development, or visual discrimination skills, this resource makes learning hands-on and exciting.

What’s Included in the Arts & Crafts I Spy Game Set

10 full-color I Spy game boards – Each board is packed with arts and crafts theme details like glue bottles, crayons, water cups, scissors, and easels. The variety keeps play fresh while giving kids repeated practice with visual scanning and attention to detail.
40 arts & crafts image cards – Players flip these bright cards to spy the matching picture on their board. Perfect for strengthening vocabulary, articulation, and ELL word recognition in a fun, interactive way.
20 printable art tokens – Use the included tokens, or swap in mini erasers, buttons, or bingo chips for an extra sensory activity and fine motor challenge.
Easy-to-follow teacher instructions – Clear directions mean this I Spy game is ready for centers, small groups, speech therapy sessions, or independent play with very little prep.

Skills Strengthened with the Arts & Crafts I Spy Board Game

Language and Literacy Skills

Expand vocabulary with repeated exposure to craft supply words like paintbrush, glue, crayon, and beads.
Encourage articulation practice as children say the words aloud when they find each picture... ideal for speech therapy goals.
Support ELL students with meaningful image-to-word connections in a low-stress, engaging format.

Cognitive and Visual Skills

Strengthen visual discrimination by asking students to scan and locate small details among busy boards.
Improve attention and focus with highly motivating arts and crafts theme scenes.
Encourage flexible thinking and problem-solving as students use strategies to locate images quickly.

Social-Emotional and Fine Motor Skills

Build turn-taking, patience, and cooperation during small group play.
Use tokens, counters, or mini erasers for fine motor practice and a hands-on sensory activity.
Increase confidence as students experience success in a game that feels fun, not like work.

How to Play the Arts & Crafts I Spy Game

Select a board – Choose one of the art theme I Spy boards and place it where all players can see.
Deal the cards – Give each student a small pile of cards, or draw from a shared stack in group play.
Flip and spy – Players turn over their top card at the same time and race to find the matching craft supply image on the board.
Collect a token – The first player to spot the match earns a token. Use the included stars, or substitute with mini erasers for added sensory play.
Continue playing – Keep going until all cards are matched. The player with the most tokens at the end wins!

Perfect For:

Speech therapy articulation practice – Use the craft supply vocabulary cards to target specific sounds and repetition in a motivating game format.
ELL vocabulary development – Pair colorful visuals with spoken English words to help students expand both expressive and receptive vocabulary.
Occupational therapy activities – Strengthen visual discrimination, fine motor control, and attention in an engaging, hands-on way.
Sub plans and early finishers – Easy-to-follow instructions and minimal prep make this I Spy game perfect for subs or independent review activities.
Indoor recess or rainy day centers – Provide students with a fun, structured activity that keeps them moving, socializing, and learning indoors.
Homeschool and family game time – A quick-to-set-up, reusable game that supports siblings of different ages working together while practicing vocabulary and attention skills.

Standards Alignment

✔ Texas Pre-K Guidelines: Supports vocabulary growth, communication skills, and phonological awareness through playful repetition.

✔ Virginia ELDS: Builds cooperative play, attention, and early literacy through interactive group games.

✔ Common Core ELA Standards:

SL.K.1: Participate in collaborative conversations with peers and adults.
L.K.6: Use new vocabulary through guided play.
RF.K.4: Connect spoken words to visuals to strengthen comprehension.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Christine H. wrote: “I used this as a vocabulary game with my RTI group. It was great to have new types of words… and a good tool to see which students could grasp words and images quickly.”

✨ The Arts & Crafts I Spy Board Game combines colorful craft supplies with meaningful practice for vocabulary, articulation, fine motor, and visual scanning.

Kids will love the challenge of racing to find scissors, paintbrushes, and glue bottles, and you’ll love having a flexible activity that works across classroom centers, therapy sessions, and indoor recess.

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!

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.

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.
