Our Childhood Games
I Spy with My Little Eye
told by The family
One player chooses a visible object in the room or immediate surroundings and gives a clue about its color. Other players guess in no particular order, and the first to guess correctly chooses the next object. A variation uses the object's first letter as the clue.
In the family's own words
One player is chosen to “spy” an object he/she sees in the room or the immediate environment. He/she begins the game by saying, “I spy with my litle eye something red” (or any other color ). The other players call out their guesses, in no particular order. The “spy” tells them whether or not they are correct. The player who first guesses correctly gets to “spy” the next object. This game can also be played by using the first letter of the object. For example: “I spy with my little eye something beginning with ‘T’”
