How to Play the Christmas I Spy Game Printable
This Christmas I Spy printable adds extra fun to the classic game by providing kids with a visual list of objects to find! Here’s how to play:
1. Print the I Spy Sheet: Start by printing out the I Spy game sheet of your choice – there are four to choose from!
Two of the Christmas I Spy sheets are colored, and two are black and white. The kids can use the black-and-white versions as coloring pages and color the items with colored pencils or crayons as they search.
2. Get Set to Spy: Kids look over the sheet to find and count each item. The goal is to locate every object on the list and note how many of each they find.
3. Tally Up: Kids count each item, writing the total number under each illustration. This is great for reinforcing counting skills for preschoolers. You can circle or color in items as you find them to keep track of which ones you already counted.
4. Add Some Challenges (Optional): You can set a timer to make it a race to beat the clock! You can also have your kids compete against each other to see who can complete the I Spy sheet first. For younger kids, you could have them work in teams to find each item faster.
5. Celebrate Completion: When kids find all the objects, they’ve completed the game!
