I Spy | Activities | WTTW Kids Learn & Play
Through the classic game I Spy, students will be asked to use descriptor words when taking notice of objects around them. This activity allows students to practice both following direction and conversational skills, all while encouraging curiosity.
Activity
- Explain to the children that they are going to learn how to play a game called “I Spy.” Play the “I Spy” video from Sesame Street.
- After the video, talk about how the game works best when you use the most descriptive words possible.
- Play a sample round of the game to show the children how it is done. Have children that want to ask a question raise their hands and be called upon. Call up to three children to play three more rounds of the game
Considerations/Modifications/Extension Activities
- For children that need extra help, use additional clips from Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood as further examples after watching the clip. (See pbskids.org)
