When is Earth Day?
Earth Day is April 22nd! It is a wonderful reason to celebrate our planet and think about all of the ways we can take care of it.
How do you play the I Spy Game?
Count how many of each picture you see in the box above and then write down the correct number on the lines.
Here is a tip: If you are playing the Earth Day I Spy game with younger kids, you can have them draw an X over each image as they count them to make it easier.
Another alternative is to color in each picture as they count them. Not only is this a great way to extend the length of time that the kids are working on the game, but it also adds a fun creative element to it.
In this game, you will be searching for and counting the following Earth Day themed items:
- Grass
- Butterfly
- Sun
- Bird
- Earth
- Waves
- Leaves
- Mountain
- Tree
How to make the Earth Day I Spy Game reusable:
Since this is a holiday themed activity, you might want to reuse the game and have your kids or students work on the activity year after year. Here are a couple of ways that you can do this.
You can use a home lamination machine.
If you have a lamination machine at home, you can use it to laminate the I spy games. This way, you can simply use dry erase markers and wipe off the marker as you are done. Then, you can store away the activity for the next year.
This is the lamination machine that I currently have and I can definitely recommend it!
You can use dry erase pockets.
If you don’t have a lamination machine, you can also use these cool dry erase pockets and use dry erase markers to work on the I spy game. Simply print out the game, put it inside the pocket and get to work!
For both of these reusable options, I would definitely recommend printing the games out on white cardstock to make sure that the activities hold up well year after year.

- Dry Erase Pockets: Dry erase pockets are a great alternative to using a lamination machine when wanting to make printable games and activities reusable.
