I Spy …with a twist

Little Matthew is out of school for the summer and getting a little bored.  So I have been trying to come up with new fun ways for him to learn. One of our favorite games is I Spy with the newspaper ads.

I ask him questions like:

• I spy  something you would eat on a hot day……
• I spy a yellow fruit….
• I spy the number that comes after 9….
• I spy the letter p….
• I spy something you use to wash your clothes

He then looks for the items in the newspaper ads, cuts them out and glues them to a paper.  He loves this game, and it is something he will actually do for awhile (he has an attention span of about 2 mins).

What fun games or ideas are you doing this summer with your kids?
