The last player to be caught becomes the next It. While It is searching, other players can run to Jail and free anyone there by touching him or her yelling, 'I free Danny!' If It tags this would-be liberator in the act of trying to free others, the caught person must go to Jail. Danny then has to come out and stay in Jail. When It sees someone, It runs back to Jail and yells, 'I Spy Danny under the lilac bush,' or whatever. It (the birthday child at first) closes his or her eyes in a certain spot called 'Jail' and counts to 50 or 100 as the other players hide. The team that finds it first wins, but there are enough goodies inside to share with everyone. Suggested treasures are lollipops, raisins, gifts, paperback books, treat bags, or bags of potato chips.ĭivide the children into two teams with different clues in different spots but leading to the same treasure. The last clue directs the children to the treasure: a box of goodies that the birthday child opens, announces 'I SPY the treasure' and shares with all. This clue directs everyone to another spot, and so on. The clue directs all the children to another spot, where another envelope is found with another child's name on it. When found, it is opened by the birthday child. I SPY an envelope: Start by telling the birthday child to look in a certain place for a clue inside an envelope.

Type of Game: competitive or noncompetitive What is Needed: clues in envelopes, hidden ahead of time (picture clues for nonreaders, printed clues for readers) I was so pleased when Jean Marzollo offered to write an official I SPY riddle for Layla's cake! We go to the library, and it's so cute to see her ask the librarian, 'Where's the I spy books, please?' I asked her what type of cake she wanted and she said 'I Spy cake, Mommy!' She loves I spy books.

The cake was actually my little girl Layla's birthday cake.
