A no-prep guessing game where kids find the object someone is secretly looking at.

AgesPre-K, K–2nd, 3rd–5thKids2-20Time5-10 minWhereIndoor or outdoorEnergyCalm

How to play

  1. Have everyone sit where they can see the room.
  2. The leader silently picks something everyone can see.
  3. The leader says, "I spy with my little eye something that is..." and gives a clue, like a color or shape.
  4. Kids raise their hands to guess.
  5. Whoever guesses correctly gets to spy the next object.

Tips & variations

  • For older kids, use the first letter of the word as the clue instead of a color.
  • Perfect for lines, hallways, or the last few minutes before parents arrive.

📖 Bible connection

God made every color and shape we can spy. "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good" (Genesis 1:31).
