How to Play This St Patrick’s Day I Spy Game
To play, print out the game sheet on your home computer and have kids search for the hidden St. Patrick’s Day-themed items on the page and count the number of items they see them. These items include shamrocks, pots of gold, little leprechaun hats, lucky horseshoes, gold coins, and rainbows.
Start by picking one item to look for first, count how many of that item you see on the page, and then add that number to the blank space next to the icon at the bottom of the page. There is an answer key included to double-check the correct answers.
It’s great for independent, quiet time or a fun challenge with friends or classmates. You can make it extra fun and challenging for older kids by making it competitive. For example, you can turn it into a minute-to-win-it game and see how many items you can find in under a minute or make it a race to see who can complete it first. Give the winner small prizes like St Patrick’s Day candies, treats, or party favors.
