The Spy starts by saying, ‘I spy with my little eye something that is …’ and gives a clue. For example, ‘I spy something that is blue!’ Then, everyone looks around and tries to find something that is blue. Maybe it’s a pen, a chair, or even someone’s shirt! If it’s tricky to guess the object right, the Spy can give more clues. The child who guesses right becomes the new Spy!
