I spy with my little eye
Something that starts with … eh-eh-eh!
A bright little 6-year-old entertained a room full of adults with round after round of her favorite party game, I Spy. The above version is how she taught us to play.
You eagle-eyed teachers will immediately spy the phonics-inspired variation, but don’t point that out to your fellow partygoers. Just play the game and make a mental note to play it with your next class.

Variations
- I spy with my little eye something that starts with E! (name the letter)
- I spy with my little eye something that is green! (name the color)
- I hear with my little nose ear something that sounds like moo! (name the sound)

Japanese:
