Some people think I Spy games are for kids, but I still love them (and I haven’t been a kid in…., well, at least a few years). I love that it absorbs your attention, but isn’t very complicated to play. It’s a great way to relax and exercise your mind at the same time.
Of course, kids really enjoy playing I Spy, whether it’s a printable, a book or the verbal I Spy game that has been popular for generations.
