I spy

Materials You Need:  None  

What You Can Do Together: Decide who’s going to go first –– that person will need to choose an object or item within eyesight and reveal the first letter as a clue. For example, “I spy with my little eye, something beginning with ‘c’…” The remaining players then get the chance to guess what the object or item is. The player who correctly guesses gets to go next or take it in turns around the group. 

It’s no fun if the item or object goes out of view very quickly –– choose something that will be visible for long enough. 

What Your Child is Learning: This classic childhood game encourages kids to pay close attention to their surroundings as they try to guess the mystery object. It’s great for developing observational skills and passing the time on long journeys!
