assorted 'things' to observe (ie.
seeds, leaves, pieces of grass, soil, pebbles, and other items as available)
BE AWARE OF ALLERGIES!
What to do:
put children in small groups, or play
as one small group
first, encourage children to look at
each item carefully with their magnifying glass noting texture, color,
shapes and other interesting phenomenon specific to the item being observed
next, one child becomes 'it' and begins
the game
the child must pick one item and say,
"I spy with my little glass, something that is...."
other children try to guess which item
was picked
game ends when all children have had
a turn being 'it' or they become tired.
NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN! Becareful of the Sun burning objects
