Next, the teacher will choose one flashcard without showing the students. The teacher can show the flashcards to the students one by one and ask them to remember them. Another way to play I Spy online is to use flashcards.

This way, everyone in the Zoom lesson can see many objects.

Give students a few minutes to gather some objects from around their room and ask them to place them in front of their webcam where everyone can see them.

So, how do you play I Spy online? Here are some fun ideas: The only difference is there are a lot less objects for the students to choose from because often all you can see is the students’/teacher’s background. When playing I spy online, the rules off the game are exactly the same. Luckily, I Spy can easily be played while teaching online. That is where we will take this game next with Cakie when she is keen to play it again.These days many schools are switching to virtual learning and teaching online via Zoom. Another way to play this would be to provide word cards for each object contained in the bottle for beginning or more confident readers to pick out a card at random and then read it and look for that object to find. There is plenty of fun simply playing this as an I-spy game! She wanted to do more with it though, and decided to try and write down the name of everything she had found in a list, sounding it out as she did so. She said “mmmmmmm” then searched on the photo sheet for an object beginning with that letter (for some sounds I used a few objects, to increase the number in the bottle.) She chose the moon, then she shook and turned the bottle until she found it and pointed it out.Ĭakie enjoyed playing the game at this level too, even though she is confident in all her letter sounds. Here is this example you can see Pop selecting the letter “m”. Then they had to say the sound out loud (the sound/ phoneme, rather than the letter name/ grapheme) and begin their search for it in the bottle. I quickly wrote out the alphabet and chopped it into small cards and let them choose which one they wanted to start with.

Next I simply popped the objects into the bottle and added 1/3rd full of dry, coloured rice (still saved and reused from this Golden Cinnamon sensory tub from last Christmas! See this post to see how to dye the rice.) Then the lid was sealed (you can use a glue gun or super-glue) and the contents were shaken to hide them a little. I’ve now laminated this so it will last for future games too. Once I’d found them all I laid them out and took a photo of everything before it went into the bottle, then printed this image out A4 size for them to use as their guide when they played. (For UK readers, this is a large Innocent juice bottle, which is nice and spacious for this type of activity!) Many of them are from Playmobil sets, as well as lots of other bits and pieces I’ve picked up along the way (I’m a miniature-things-hoarder so that helps!) I went on a hunt for little objects around the house beginning with each letter of the alphabet and that were small enough to fit through the next of the bottle I had collected. We have made some sets of Baby and Toddler Discovery bottles before, and this time I put together a Phonics Discovery bottle for them to play an I-Spy game at home and when we are out and about, as it is completely self-contained and portable. We have a whole collection of homemade toys, games and resources here that you can check out, to see what we have made so far. I love making resources for them which can be played with and reused any times and that use simple materials from around the home.

The girls are often able to play together and yet use the activity to reach their own independent goals at their own level of ability, which makes me very happy. There’s been a lot of emphasis in our home recently on learning letter sounds and beginning to sound out small words to read and write independently. Make a phonics I-Spy discovery bottle for hours of playful literacy fun at home, in the classroom or even when travelling! A great activity for learning beginning letter sounds and matching phonemes to graphemes, for preschoolers to school age kids.
