By looking around the home for the color detail of objects, children are strengthening several visual perceptual skill areas: The activity asks users to search their house for an object of a particular color. Therapists can use this free interactive slide deck in therapy treatment sessions virtually as a color scavenger hunt activity. This I Spy Colors therapy slide deck does the trick. I wanted to create a teletherapy activity that required no materials other than paper and pencil. But did you know there are even more therapeutic benefits to this game?
It’s a good activity for kids that keeps them busy. You may have even played I Spy with my little eye while waiting at a doctor’s office, or in a restaurant. In a traditional look-and-find game, they need to search a book, puzzle page, or other activity page for hidden items. The kids you are working with may have played I Spy before.
