Īnother variation that encourages language development involves the Spy giving various descriptive clues, such as describing a watch as "something made of metal and glass that makes a quiet noise". Howcast notes that looking at an object when announcing its colour is a "dead giveaway" so this should be avoided. Having clues based on an object's shape is another alternative, while quick thinkers can deliberately choose objects that can only be seen for a limited amount of time. This site has the form "I spy something, and it's blue" as the traditional version, deeming "I spy with my little eye." as an alternative. Some sites such as About Parenting describe the letter version as the variant to the colour-based game. "I spy with my little eye something blue"), while another is to say "I Spy with my little eye something that sounds like". Īn alternative version is substituting the initial letter for an adjective such as the colour of the object (e.g. The Spy can also offer clues if the guessers are stumped, such as saying ‘Hot’ when a guess is close or ‘Cold’ if it is not. Some versions of the game allow players to narrow down the search with yes-or-no questions such as "Is it on your left?" or "Is it an animal?". Players may also agree to decide if the objects will be all outside or all inside the vehicle. In situations where players are traveling from place to place through the course of the game, such as a car journey, players may agree that any chosen object should remain visible, rather than an item such as a particular street sign which will only be visible for a few moments when the game begins. The game relies on trust as the Spy is the only person who knows whether the guessers are correct or not.
The Spy cannot change the object once it has been chosen. If younger children are playing who are not so good at guessing, the role of Spy can be passed around in a set order. Once a guesser has correctly identified the object, they become the Spy for the next round and the game starts again. Traditionally players ask directly about particular possibilities ("Is it a tree?"). Other players then have to guess the chosen object. "I spy with my little eye something beginning with C" if the chosen object is a corner). ", naming the letter the chosen object starts with (e.g. They do not announce their choice, and instead say, "I spy with my little eye something beginning with. One player is chosen to be the Spy, and they silently select an object that is visible to all the players.
