Is it an animal?

I love playing games like this with my students because it incorporates multiple opportunities for /s/ blends practice, with language concepts of categories, descriptive words, and question asking.
The key to my game is that the child can not say “Is it this?” or randomly name their guesses. For example, if my student said in the above game, “Is it a pig? Is it a watch? Is it a brush?” they would be tarred and feathered. Just kidding. Sorta. The child must practice using as many describing words as possible before they arrive at their final guess.
This game is great at home, in the car, or (heck) browsing the internet.
Wanna play again?

Okay, you get the idea. Now it’s your turn to spy. Locate something in one of the following pictures and see if I (or another reader) can use our super-powered descriptive skills to deduce what you spy.

Great shots… we have played this game so many times in the car on our long trips and the kids and adults take turns… it can be so funny when the little kids do it.
Fun idea for kids of all ages to practice those descriptive words :)!!
What fun! That’s a great game for all ages. We still play it with our teens when we’re bored in the car.

You are so clever with these 🙂 We love playing iSpy with our daughter. She especially loves it while we’re in the car and driving by signs and trees.
I love “I Spy”!! Hubby and I play it almost daily! (Shhh! Don’t tell him I admited that outloud!)
I love the photos to go with it 🙂
My sister and I always played this game on long car trips and now I play with the kids…..it is one of our favorites!!

Take care, CC – see you – Kellan
FABULOUS idea!!! We love doing this as well – it’s just a great game. For all ages 🙂
Oh I love I Spy as do my children! Great photo’s!
This is GREAT game! Not just the cognitive stimulus for language, but the visual perceptual tasks involved, and, my favorite, parents and children interacting.
