How to Play the Easter Counting I Spy Game
This Easter counting game is quick to learn and perfect for math centers, small groups, and early finishers who need meaningful numbers 1–10 practice.
-
Choose an Easter I Spy board and place it where all players can easily see the pictures and counting visuals.
-
Deal the Easter image cards face down so each player has a small stack to flip during the I spy game.
-
On each turn, all players flip their top card at the same time to reveal a new Easter picture.
-
Everyone scans the I Spy board to find the matching image, strengthening visual scanning, visual discrimination, and visual perception skills.
-
The first player to point to the correct picture earns a token, reinforcing number recognition, counting skills, and attention to detail.
-
Continue flipping cards and searching for matches until all cards have been used.
-
The player with the most tokens at the end wins the round of the Easter I Spy counting game.
For independent play, students can flip cards and cover matching images on their own board. This variation works beautifully for quiet math centers, independent counting practice, and extra number recognition practice for preschool and kindergarten students.
Bonus Play Ideas
-
Independent I Spy: A student flips through the cards and covers matches alone for extra practice with color recognition and focus.
-
Parallel Play: Two students each have their own board and deck, playing side-by-side at their own pace. This variation supports learners who thrive in calm, non-competitive environments.
-
Sensory Twist: Use textured manipulatives such as pom-poms or fuzzy balls as tokens for an added tactile sensory experience during play.

This i such a great resource!!!
This i such a great resource. The crafting aspect is easy to understand as well as put together. My kiddos have already used the alligator this year to go along with their short letter Aa. They only had heard of a crocodile, so it was a great resource to add to their vocabulary as well as their learning the letter. I love it! Thank you for making this FREE!

Your Brand Name hooked me
I started getting your materials because of your brand name, Life Over Cs, and because you actually lived and taught overseas. The materials that you have developed and created are applicable to a wide range of students, and for a teacher, the materials are applicable for use from introducing a topic, using it as an assessment, using it for review, using it, and using it for enrichment. Thank you for the thought, the creativity, and the time in developing these materials. Keep up the good work.

Simple but effective
Simple but effective. Students make a spinner with a pencil and a paperclip. Each wheel provides a variety of phonemes so students can work independently in pairs. Great value.

Great resource
I printed this out, laminated it, and used a pocket chart. My class loves guessing where something is hiding. We especially loved having 8 fish to find! Great way to reinforce and/or learn your letters.
