It’s time again to play a round of I Spy, a favorite vocab game! Last time, we found things lying around our desks, this time we’re looking through the clutter in a mechanic’s shop!
I can’t say I am impressed by this mechanic’s organizational skills, but I must say that he obviously has been working as a mechanic for many years!
Don’t pretend like you don’t have clutter in your house. Every house gets cluttered. Where there are humans, there is clutter! Clutter is lots of stuff that gets in the way because it’s not put away. But the good thing about clutter that it lets us play an vocab game.
Anyways, do you remember the rules of “I Spy”? Normally, you play it with kids and look around, choose an object, and say, “I spy with my little eye something red.” And then the kids try to guess what red thing you are talking about. When they guess right, it’s their turn.
Well, that won’t work for us for obvious reasons, so the way we do it is this: you have 3 minutes to find as many of the things from the list as you can. It’s that easy!
So as soon as you are ready, start the timer and look for them in the picture. Ready? (Don’t forget to have a dictionary or translator nearby!) Go!

That’s it! There are 23 items in the list, so, if you got them all before the 3-minute timer went off, you took less than 8 seconds per item!
