Let us do

Let us play a game. Let's play a fun game called "I Spy"! We are going to take turns to be Spies. The Spy secretly chooses something in the room and gives everyone a clue. The Spy starts by saying, 'I spy with my little eye something that is ...' and gives a clue. 
For example, 'I spy something that is blue!' Then, everyone looks around and tries to find something that is blue. Maybe it's a pen, a chair, or even someone's shirt! If it's tricky to guess the object right, the Spy can give more clues. 
The child who guesses right becomes the new Spy! Keep playing, taking turns being Spies and guessing until everyone gets a chance to be the Spy.
