I Spy! Reading Challenge
A Create-Your-Own, Individual Game
Grab Your Spy Glass on June 1, 2025
Come play HOB's version of I Spy! You will have two years to complete the challenge. The best part? You'll be creating your own tasks to go along with the items in the images! There are SO MANY ways to make your books fit. You are only limited by your own creativity.
Here is just a small sampling of tasks that could work for the image above. {Please note: images are much larger and clearer on the spreadsheet.}
SOME EXAMPLES
I SPY = all letters of I SPY in title
telephone = someone talks on the phone
glove = set in a cold climate
ants = multiples of something on cover
word red = red cover
school bus = MC is a student or a teacher
cat = character has a cat
chicken = set on a farm
tennis racket = tagged SPORTS
rocket = set in space
books = MPG Books About Books
letter T = title or author starts with T
boombox = character listens to music
cheeseburger = character eats a meal
umbrella = rains in the story
coffee mug = character has a drink
firetruck = some type of fire in story
ship = character travels
hot air balloon = character flies; physically or in an airplane
beach pail = character goes to a beach or set at the beach
horse = character rides a horse
chair = furniture on cover
shopping cart = character buys something
SpongeBob = contains author's first & last initials
Shoe = word SHOE(S) found in text
*IF there were numbers = part of page count or publication date
AND ON AND ON!!!
I will create a thread for you to use in any way that makes sense to you, and it will have a link to your spreadsheet. HOWEVER, all official tracking and checking in will be done via the simple, individual spreadsheet and the Check-In Thread. Please don't be intimidated by the use of the spreadsheet. I will be glad to help you figure it out in the beginning.
There will be 20 images to work with and you will create three tasks/read three books for each image. You can jump around and go in any order you wish. You can complete them all, or just get to as many as possible over the course of the two years. It's all pretty laid back!
Once you have completed all three books per image, post a link to that specific tab on the spreadsheet in the I Found It! Check-In Thread.
If you have any questions, please post them in the What Am I Looking For? Q&A Thread.
Challenge Rules:
📘 Standard Rules Apply.
📘 I will create an individual thread for you prior to the start date.
📘 You may begin reading your books and creating your tasks on June 1, 2025.
