Bring a pop of color and excitement into your classroom with this Red Objects I Spy Board Game!



Perfect for preschool, kindergarten, and early elementary learners, this game makes color recognition, vocabulary building, and visual discrimination feel more like playtime than learning time.


Kids will love spotting bright red pictures like fire trucks, apples, cardinals, and strawberries as they race to “spy” the matching image first.

🟥 10 full-color game boards – Each game board features a mix of 40 red-themed images (apples, stop signs, hearts, ladybugs, and more).

With ten variations, you can play again and again without repeating the same layout, keeping kids engaged while reinforcing color identification and visual discrimination skills.


🟥 40 image cards – These bright red picture cards are designed to strengthen vocabulary, articulation, and language comprehension. Students flip over a card, race to find the matching picture, and call out what they see.


🟥 20 printable star tokens – Use the included tokens, or swap them out for mini erasers, buttons, or pom-poms for a fun fine motor and sensory play twist.

Tokens keep the competition friendly and help children track progress in a motivating way.


🟥 Teacher-friendly instructions – Simple directions make this activity easy to introduce, perfect for centers, small groups, speech therapy, OT, or as a sub plan that’s both meaningful and low-prep.

It’s a perfect activity for color of the week, speech therapy, ELL students, OT sessions, or even a quick and fun indoor recess game!



Skills Strengthened with the Red Objects I Spy Board Game 



🎨 Color Recognition and Vocabulary Development



Students explore shades of red while identifying and naming objects, boosting both receptive and expressive vocabulary. Perfect for reinforcing color of the week lessons in preschool or kindergarten.


🗣️ Speech and Language Practice 


Encourage students to say each red object aloud as they play to target articulation goals, build sentence structure, and improve pronunciation through playful repetition. Great for speech therapy or ELL vocabulary practice.


👀 Visual Discrimination and Attention


I Spy games are an excellent way to support visual scanning, focus, and detail recognition. Students strengthen cognitive processing skills as they search, compare, and identify small differences between pictures.


🧩 Social-Emotional and Fine Motor Skills 


Turn-taking, sharing, and friendly competition build social interaction and self-regulation. Manipulating small tokens and cards strengthens fine motor coordination and hand-eye control in a natural, hands-on way.



How to Play the Red Objects I Spy Game 


  1. Choose a game board and place it in the center of your table or small group area.
  2. Deal the image cards face down to each player (or draw from a shared pile).
  3. Both players flip their top card at the same time.
  4. Race to find the matching red object on the game board.
  5. The first player to spot it wins a token for that round!
  6. Continue flipping until all cards have been used. The player with the most tokens at the end wins!

💡 Independent Play Option: Students can use one game board and flip through cards on their own, covering matches with tokens. This works beautifully for early finishers, quiet centers, or focused sensory time.
