Kids will love racing to spot adorable hedgehogs, colorful mushrooms, leaves, snails, and forest animals, while you’ll love how the game naturally builds articulation, vocabulary, and visual discrimination skills.

Designed with clear, bright images and simple gameplay, this I Spy game is perfect for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary learners.

Whether you are teaching in the classroom, working in speech therapy or OT, supporting ELL students, or just looking for a fun sensory activity for indoor recess, this game will keep your learners engaged and learning.

What’s Included in the Hedgehog I Spy Board Game Set

10 Forest-Themed Game Boards filled with hedgehogs, trees, mushrooms, flowers, acorns, and more
40 I Spy Image Cards that match the board illustrations
20 Printable Token Cards for keeping score and rewarding success
Step-by-Step Instructions for multiple ways to play, making it easy to adapt for different ages and skill levels

Each board is full of playful forest animal illustrations that support vocabulary growth, articulation practice, and visual scanning skills through repeated exposure in a hands-on format.

Primary Skills Reinforced

Vocabulary and Language Development Expand expressive and receptive vocabulary as kids name, describe, and use forest words in sentences.
Articulation and Speech Goals Practice clear pronunciation of animal names, forest objects, and descriptive words.
Visual Discrimination Strengthen attention to detail as children scan the board for matching images.
Sensory and Cognitive Engagement High-interest images make this an excellent sensory activity for maintaining focus.

Secondary Skills (SEL and Life Skills)

Turn-Taking and Cooperation Build patience and positive peer interaction as children wait for their turn and cheer each other on.
Focus and Attention The fast-paced nature of the game keeps kids alert, attentive, and motivated.
Social-Emotional Growth Encourages communication, teamwork, and celebrating small successes.

How to Play the Hedgehog I Spy Game

Choose a game board and place it in the center so all players can clearly see the forest-themed images like hedgehogs, mushrooms, acorns, and flowers.
Deal the cards face-down to all players, making sure each child has a stack of I Spy image cards to flip during play.
On each turn, flip a card and race to ‘spy’ the image on the board. Kids will love scanning the colorful hedgehog and forest pictures to find the matching animal or object.
The first player to find it earns a token for that round, which can be one of the included stars or even small manipulatives like mini erasers.
Continue until all cards are played. The player with the most tokens wins and celebrates their forest adventure success!

This easy-to-learn setup makes the game perfect for small groups, speech and language practice, independent work, early finishers, or sub plans.

Teachers, therapists, and homeschool parents will appreciate how quickly kids pick up the rules while practicing vocabulary, articulation, and visual discrimination skills.

Perfect For:

Speech Therapy and OT Sessions – Target articulation goals, vocabulary practice, visual scanning, and fine motor skills while keeping kids engaged with hedgehogs and forest animals.
Literacy and Math Centers – A meaningful warm-up that builds focus before lessons. Great for reinforcing visual discrimination, vocabulary development, and turn-taking skills.
ELL Support – The clear visuals make English Language Learners feel successful as they build new vocabulary, strengthen oral language, and connect words to real-life forest objects.
Homeschool Lessons – Simple to prep, easy to reuse, and designed to make learning hands-on. A playful way to mix in articulation, sensory activities, and vocabulary growth at home.
Indoor Recess or Early Finishers – A low-prep solution that keeps kids busy with meaningful play. Instead of filler tasks, children can strengthen visual discrimination, attention, and communication skills while having fun with an I Spy game.

Standards Alignment

✔ Texas Pre-K Guidelines: Supports early vocabulary, communication, and sustained attention.

✔ Virginia ELDS: Encourages cooperative play, focus, and meaningful language experiences.

✔ Common Core ELA Standards:

RF.K.2d: Isolate and pronounce initial, medial, and final sounds in words
SL.K.1a: Participate in conversations with peers and adults
L.K.6: Use words and phrases acquired through conversation and play

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.

The Hedgehog I Spy Board Game makes science centers, vocabulary lessons, and therapy sessions fun and interactive.

With bright illustrations and flexible gameplay, kids will strengthen academic and social skills while playing!

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.
