One of our favourite games! Who doesn’t like a game of I Spy??? And what’s more, the educational benefits are tremendous! Initial sounds is a skill which can take a while to grasp with some children so it’s a great wee activity to do that’s easy no matter where you are.<\/p>\n

Starting off it’s best to have items in front\u00a0of your child that they can see<\/p>\n

e.g. an apple<\/p>\n

a car<\/p>\n

a pencil<\/p>\n

a ball<\/p>\n

a doll<\/p>\n

(you get the idea)<\/p>\n

You then begin, “I spy with my little eye, something beginning with PI” (for P) remember to use the sounds that the letters make\u00a0and not the letter names. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When your child begins to get the hang of 5 or 6 items on the table in front of them you could try this super tricky challenge sheet. And once they have mastered this they are ready to play anywhere.<\/p>\n

I Spy<\/a><\/p>\n

Challenge – try turning it around\u00a0to see if your child can take a turn, asking\u00a0YOU if you can find things using their initial sound clues.<\/p>\n

For some finding eye spy using initial sounds a little tricky – why not start with COLOUR I SPY. Again set up the same only with coloured items OR you can use the checklist below and it can be a look and find activity. You can use it to match, or to give clues, colour, shape, size, where you might find one, pattern etc. Lots of possibilities.<\/p>\n
