New Years I-Spy Activity Page

Happy New Year!

Are you looking for a low-prep activity to do with your kids before they are back at school soon? We have created a New Years themed Find & Count Activity Page, which is perfect for kids of all ages!

Materials Needed

Print the activity page here: New Years I-Spy
Marker or pencil

… and that is it! If you don’t have a printer, no problem! Just pull the PDF up on a tablet or laptop for the activity.

How to use the activity page:

Point to or name one of the images, and have your child count how many they can find.
Have multiple children take turns picking an image and circling as many as they can find.
Take turns describing one of the images, then having the other person guess it and finding each of them.
Practice handwriting between rounds by writing the image they found, the number of how many they found, or using the image they found in a sentence.

What skills will they be working on?

There are many skills addressed during “I-Spy like” activities, one being visual perceptual skills. Visual perceptual skills help a child to make sense of (interpret) what they are seeing. This skill is necessary for reading, writing, and movement activities. Specific visual perceptual skills include:

Visual discrimination – matching two objects that are the same
Visual memory – the ability to remember visual information
Form constancy – the ability to notice that two objects are the same even if they are different in size, color, etc.
Figure ground – the ability to find an object when it is hidden in a busy background

… all of which can be addressed through our New Years I-Spy activity page!
