I SPY WITH

MY LITTLE EYE

• Teacher hides his / her six bricks around the
classroom in positions that the children can see
from their desks. This must be done before the
children enter the classroom.
• Teacher then asks selected children to find the
different coloured bricks using their eyes only.
Once they can spot the brick they must put their
hands up to indicate that they have located the
brick. “I spy with my little eye, the brick that
starts with “r”.”

Q: Can you describe where the brick is?

Variations:
• Teacher could ask the children to find a
sequence of coloured bricks and copy that
sequence with their bricks.
• Teacher could make a treasure hunt in which the
children must move around to find the bricks.

EAT IT!

• Children have their 6 bricks randomly placed
on their desks in front of them.
• Teacher asks children to hold up a brick
colour that reminds them of a fruit /
vegetable.

Q: Which fruit / vegetable is it?
Q: With what sound does that fruit /
vegetable start?
Q: Why is that fruit / vegetable good for you -
how does it help your body?
