How to Play the Long Vowel 'O' I Spy Flip Board Game

Prep the Game: Print the game boards, image cards, and tokens. Laminate for long-term use, then cut apart the pieces.
Set It Up: Choose a game board for the round and place it in the center. Deal image cards face down to each player.
Flip & Find: All players flip over their top card at the same time and race to locate the matching image on the board.
Earn a Token: The first player to find and point to the image wins a token for that round.
Keep Playing: Continue until all cards have been used. The player with the most tokens at the end wins!

Additional Ways to Use the Long Vowel 'O' I Spy Game:

Independent Play: Give one student an I Spy game board and the full stack of word cards. They flip each long vowel 'O' word card, find the image, and cover it with a mini eraser or token. This builds visual focus and word recognition independently.

Parallel Play: Two players use separate I Spy game boards and take turns flipping and matching their own words 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.

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.
