I SPY
Why not play I Spy
with your children. It’s a fun game to play AND it will help them build their vocabulary and develop their
English speaking and listening skills!
How to play:
Choose the 1st spy.
The 1st ‘spy’ chooses
something they can see, for example the sun.
They provide the first
clue
e.g. “I spy
something that starts with the letter S.”
The other players
try and guess the answer.
The ‘spy’ can provide
more clues if necessary.
“It is YELLOW, it is a CIRCLE
shape.”
The player who
guesses correctly becomes the next spy.
We've added a 'phonics I spy video' for you to try.
Transport
To help you use some of the new words in sentences about different types of transport, try say what you can see in the picture below.
I can see a ... on the road.
The ... is pink and yellow.
There are ... people in the ...
The ... is pink and yellow.
