The Dentist I Spy Board Games are Perfect For:
-
Literacy or math center warm-ups – Use the game to kick off your small group time with a high-energy activity that gets kids thinking and engaged before diving into lessons.

ELL students – The visual clues and image-to-word matching are perfect for supporting English Language Learners as they build vocabulary and connect words to real-world objects.
How to Play the Dentist Themed I Spy Game:
-
Prep your materials: Print the dentist themed word image cards, I Spy game boards, and token cards. Laminate for long-term use and cut the pieces.
-
Set it up: Choose one dentist themed I Spy game board and place it in the center. Deal image cards to each player.
-
Flip and find: All players flip one word card at a time and race to find the matching image on the board.
-
Win a token: The first player to spot the correct image wins a token!
-
Repeat and play again: Keep flipping and matching until all cards are used. The player with the most tokens wins!
Additional Ways to Use the Dentist Themed Community Helpers I Spy Game:
Independent Play: Give one student an I Spy game board and the full stack of dental themed picture cards. They flip each picture card, find the image, and cover it with a mini eraser or token. This builds visual focus and vocabulary building independently.
Parallel Play: Two players use separate I Spy game boards and take turns flipping and matching their own dentist themed picture cards at their own pace. Great for learners who need personal space or are just beginning to engage in group activities.
These options make the game even more flexible... perfect for classroom differentiation, therapy settings, or adapting to students’ emotional and developmental needs.

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.
