Game Activity
Three Strikes “I Spy”
Materials: N/A
Materials: N/A
Play a game of “I spy” with your child, but with a baseball twist!
In this version of “I spy,” look around the room and pick an object. Then give your child one clue to help them guess the object you’ve spied. Say, “I spy with my little eye, something [color or shape].”
Your child has only three guesses to figure it out. If they guess the right answer, they get a point, but after three strikes (incorrect guesses), they’re out! Then your child becomes the spy, and you guess the object they’ve spied.
After taking turns for nine rounds, or innings, the person with the most points wins the game!
Actividad para jugar
“Veo, veo” en tres strikes
Materials: N/A
Materials: N/A
Juega “Veo, veo” con tu niño, pero como si fuera béisbol.
En esta versión de “Veo, veo”, escoge un objeto de la habitación. Entonces, dale al niño una pista para que pueda adivinar el objeto. Dile: “Veo, veo, una cosita de color (o de forma…)”.
El niño solo tiene tres oportunidades para adivinar el objeto. Si lo adivina, recibe un punto, pero después del tercer strike (o respuesta incorrecta), ¡se ponchó! Entonces el niño escogerá un objeto y tú tratarás de adivinar lo que escogió.
Después de 9 rondas, o innings, ¡el que tenga más puntos gana el juego!
