Skills Reinforced

Primary Academic Skills

Rainforest animal vocabulary – Build knowledge of unique creatures found in Amazon regions and other rainforest habitats.
Visual discrimination – Strengthen focus and scanning skills as children quickly find matches on the busy rainforest boards.
Science connections – Support lessons on habitats, ecosystems, and biodiversity by connecting real-world rainforest animals to engaging visuals.
Language development – Encourage expressive and receptive vocabulary as students name, describe, and talk about what they see.

Secondary Skills (SEL + Life Skills)

Turn-taking and cooperation – Practice patience and teamwork during group play
Focus and attention – Keep kids engaged as they race to spot rainforest creatures on each board.
Communication – Great for speech therapy and ELL learners who benefit from visual supports and repeated practice.

How to Play the Rainforest Animals I Spy Game

Choose a rainforest game board and place it in the center.
Deal the image cards face-down to each player.
Flip and spy – On each turn, all players flip their top card and race to find the matching rainforest animal on the board.
Win a token – The first player to spot the correct image wins a token card.
Keep playing until all cards are used. The player with the most tokens at the end is the winner!

Flexible Classroom and Therapy Use

Small group work – Perfect for guided centers, RTI, or science-themed vocabulary practice.
Speech therapy or ELL support – Reinforce rainforest vocabulary with engaging visuals that make word connections clear.
Occupational therapy sessions – Great for hand-eye coordination, attention-building, and sensory play.
Sub plans or indoor recess – Low-prep, high-engagement activity that keeps kids busy and learning.
Homeschool or family game time – Fun and educational resource that reinforces rainforest science while kids play.

Standards Alignment

✔ Texas Pre-K Guidelines – Supports vocabulary growth, phonological awareness, and science knowledge of living things.

✔ Virginia ELDS – Encourages sustained attention, cooperative play, and observation of natural environments.

✔ NGSS Science Standards – Connects to life science concepts such as habitats, ecosystems, and animal adaptations.

✔ Common Core ELA Standards –

SL.K.1a: Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners
L.K.6: Use words and phrases acquired through conversations and reading activities

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 Rainforest Animals I Spy Board Game is an exciting way to combine science, vocabulary, and sensory play all in one!

Kids won’t even realize they’re learning as they scan the rainforest biome, race to spot animals, and celebrate each match with tokens.

Add it to your rainforest unit, vocabulary centers, or therapy toolkit and watch your students light up with excitement!

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.

Beginning blends and digraph clip 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.
