BENEFITS OF I SPY VALENTINE’S DAY GAME FOR KIDS

First, let’s look at some of the great learning that happens when kids engage in these types of games. There are plenty of skills they learn to use and hone with these types of activities:

Visual Discrimination

I SPY games help children to pay attention to details in images and discern and discriminate between them similar shapes, letters, and numbers (depending on the particular I spy printable).

Image how difficult it is for our little learners to differentiate between similar letters like p, b, d, and q. These types of activities help hone the ability to differentiate between similar-looking shapes, colors, numbers, and images which is a skill they’ll need for early math and literacy.

Memory

I SPY activity sheets are also a great way to strengthen children’s working memory. Memory is one of those things that gets better and better with practice which is why I love using these in my classroom.

They have to use their working memory skills to match each item in the list. It requires mentally keeping that list in mind while you search.

Fine Motor Skills

For our younger learners, this activity is also great for working on their fine motor skills by practicing how to grip and manipulate their pencils, crayons, and other writing tools. They’ll be able to circle and color to help practice their fine motor skills.

Numeracy and Counting

The task at hand is to count and record how many of each item they can find so it’s the perfect opportunity to practice their counting and numeracy skills.

In the classroom, once we’ve had a chance to work through the activity, we come together to share and compare our results. How many did everyone find? Which item had the most? Which item had the least?

It’s an easy activity to build on. If you want to read more about the benefits of these kinds of activities check out this article by Scolastics.

MATERIALS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY I SPY PRINTABLE

Now, let’s just run through everything you’re going to need for your Valentine’s Day I SPY printable and how to get the best results.

Prepping for this activity is pretty minimal, all you really need to do is print it out and hand it over along with some crayons, markers, pencils or pencil crayons. To add a little more fun, you can provide a magnifying glass too (my kids love that).

The black and white copy is meant to be a count and color worksheet so make sure you’ve got some pencils as well as markers or crayons around.

The color version is more for counting and recording.

Personally, I love to laminate mine and print them on cardstock paper instead of regular printing paper because we reuse them all the time in the classroom.

It makes it easy to complete the activity with whiteboard markers and simply wipe clean.

If you’re in the market for a laminator, be sure to check out the Crenova A4 Laminator. It’s inexpensive and works wonders!

This is why I love laminating mine. I keep a few different copies available to hand out to my kiddos who finish their other work early and need something to keep busy.
