It will only count if the flower name is spelled correctly. Have the students list all the different leaf names or flower types that they find. Use numbers in your lists of objects to find. Have the students find 3 white flowers, for example. You could also use natural materials such as flowers, leaves, rocks and twigs to create an I SPY scene. Use a dollhouse or wooden log set and set up a pioneer scene. For example, jungle animals, birds, or ocean creatures could be used as themes. You could set up your own theme similar to a page in the book if that will be a unit you are covering at the beginning of the school year. Write a rhyming list of what objects you would like students to find or have the students create a checklist for the other students to use. A table with cards, dominoes, beads, board game pieces, trains, skipping ropes, crayons, small animals, dinosaurs, tinker toys and buttons are examples of typical I SPY objects. Set up a center in a corner in your classroom to play I SPY using some of the trinkets found in the book. Add pictures or other objects that are found in the I SPY books such as cards, stamps, buttons, paperclips, dice, dominoes, beads, etc. Then all the students' names or photos can be displayed in a random way on the bulletin board. On the outside classroom bulletin board, the display could be related to the I SPY theme by posting this main message: “ I SPY IN MY CLASSROOM “. The words on the weekly spelling list can be made from the words they have to spy in the classroom. Then be more specific in having the students find words on posters, numbers, certain pencils or specific books. For example, on your list of things to find, have them find the exit for a fire drill, the word EXIT, the pencil sharpener, the recycled paper bin, the classroom rules, the word RULES, the reading corner or the bin of games for rainy days.
I SPY BooksĪfter they have completed a few pages of fun, have the students put down the books and play an I SPY activity in your own classroom for getting to know the room. This practice will improve spelling during the game. Some of the I SPY books have letters or words to find in them. Teacher should ask them how to spell the word they are looking for. Their partner can help them or they can check with the teacher if not sure what the word or object is that they are searching for in the I SPY book. They will ask what the word is if they don’t know. Have students work in groups of 2 to start reading the words for what they must find on the pages of the books. Teachers should have several of the I SPY books in their classroom. They help to get students back into reading and improve spelling with the added fun of using the I SPY books. These fun activities for kids can be used for the first month of school or throughout the year and work well for grades 1 to 4. I Spy Games and Activities to Use in Spelling
