This i Spy Thanksgiving free printable is a fun activity to keep kids busy at a classroom party, on a road trip, or during your Thanksgiving celebration! Grab this free printable i Spy Thanksgiving activity to add to your themed activity ideas for the fall holiday season.

My boys love playing an i spy game whether we are waiting at a doctor’s office or on a road trip, i spy is a fun activity that is a great boredom buster!

Do you remember Highlights magazines? I used to love the Highlights activity book with the Hidden Pictures game when I was a kid. I’ve shared them with my boys and they love spying for items, too! Where’s Waldo and the collection of iSpy books are also a big hit around here.

The i Spy activity sheet is kind of like those Hidden Picture games and i spy books! Kids search for the items in the picture, color them, and count them. It’s a great game based off the classic game of i spy. These activities are fun and challenging ways for kids to use fine motor skills, gross motor skills, and math skills all while having fun at their holiday party.

When I was planning our class Thanksgiving party I knew we needed something to create quiet time and calm the kids down at the end of the party. i Spy is a great way to have fun while doing a little bit of busy work and building those important skills!

How to Use i Spy Thanksgiving Free Printable Activity Sheet

This activity is great for little kids and older kids. Younger kids may do better working together with a partner while older kids can work independently. You will also find that there are 2 different versions of the i Spy Thanksgiving activity. One is a primary grade activity sheet with larger pictures which works great for young children. The other Thanksgiving i Spy activity sheet is for older children and has smaller pictures.

Classroom Parties

This is a great classroom party activity if you’re planning a Thanksgiving themed party! I love using printable activity sheets as time fillers.

We always do stations for our class parties. The problem is that sometimes one station finishes before the rest of the other stations. Not to worry! Printable worksheets are a great way to keep kids busy while requiring no prep and very little instruction. It’s a great activity when kids have extra time during class parties.

Sometimes we use these fun printable worksheets at the end of class to kind of wind the party down.

You could also use this game as a station at your Thanksgiving class party. Make this activity even more fun by letting kids use a magnifying glass as they search for their Thanksgiving themed items. Our kindergarten class already does this with regular classroom learning activities so it was easy to turn this into a fun thanksgiving activity!

How to Play I Spy Thanksgiving Activity

“I spy with my little eye…some pumpkin pie!”

This i Spy Thanksgiving Activity sheet was designed with pumpkin spice and everything nice from fall! Kids of all ages will search for the items at the bottom of the page and they can color them in and count them up.

You will see two options available one with larger pictures and the with small pictures. The larger pictures are recommended for Kindergarten and first grade students. The smaller pictures are recommend for older kids as it has more items and is a bit more complicated.

Each i Spy activity sheet has space at the bottom with Thanksgiving themed items like pumpkin pie, corn, pilgrims hat, and more. Kids will search the page for those items, color them in, and count them. They can write the number of items they find on the line next to the item.

The goal of the game is to find the correct number of each item and color in the items.

Start by coloring the Thanksgiving item that you notice first! My little boy started with the pumpkin.

Then color all the pumpkins you see on the page. After you color them all count them and write the number beside the pumpkin at the bottom of the page.

Helpful Tip: Tell kids to stick with one picture. Color and count them. When they finish that picture move onto the next picture. This will help them to not miss any of the pictures!
