Games for Kids: I-Spy

April 15, 2015 Tiffany Miller BLOG, Brain Building Activities, Fun Activities Playing with Your Child, Show and Tell

This is a great game to play ANYWHERE (in the car, at the grocery store, on a walk, at the

dinner table, etc.). Take turns with your child finding describing things that are within your

child’s immediate surroundings. This activity helps build language by having children pay

attention to and practice descriptive phrases.

For infants and toddlers, use “obvious” descriptions, such as:

I spy something that says, “Moo!”

I spy a doggy!

I spy a big truck!

I spy baby’s feet! (tickle or nom baby’s feet)

For preschoolers use concepts that relate to kindergarten readiness such as:

I spy something that is green!

I spy the letter Z!

I spy something a big yellow thing takes kids to school!

I spy a type of fruit that is small, red with lots of little seeds!
