this is a fun game to play. it keeps me on the computer for along time and my brothers get mad at me. It is sometimes hard to find the hidden pictures, but I love to try. My brother is 12 and he has a hard time finding things. I always find them first. I like the school I spy the best, but the spook house is fun too. I think it is fun to play because you see things that you see every day in school so they are easy to spot as long as you go to school. It also helps teach me to consentrate for long periods of time.

I Spy, a great game is great on a rainy day. Too wet to go outside, no broblem! Just hook up "I Spy." Can you find the hiden objects? Travel to many diffrent rooms. This is as fun as living in Disney World. Practice in reading, build vocabulary, and more. Enjoy this this game. Be smart, and have a sharp eye!

I Spy School Days-big bore

My six year old great nephew completed all of the activities within two hours. He was moderately interested in the beginning and bored by the time he finished. I watched as he played, and thought they were boring, too.

Elementary Kids Love It!

I am a computer lab teacher in an elementary school. Last year, I used this software for quite a few weeks when my Kindergarten through Grade 3 students came in for activity period. Students in grades 4-6 would beg to get a chance to use the software when their assignment for the day was completed.

It was a stretch for Kindergarten to find some of the items, because they did not recognize some of the items in the riddles, but I made sure to point these out in lessons and then circulated to help them more.

It was exciting to watch as students became absorbed in this activity, and most of them grew in their visual and verbal awareness. Children in grades 1-3 could either click to hear the descriptions or read for themselves.

Yes, it is on the shelf this year, but will taken out to be used in two years. This year I bought I Spy Spooky Mansion for use, and next year hope to get the Î Spy Treasure software if I can find the funding.

My 6 year old daughter loves this game. It is not easy and keeps her thinking. I some times find some of the items hard to find but with persistance you will find them. It is never boring. The whole family enjoys this software.

Can't find 12th ladybug!

I really like this game but I am annoyed that I can't find the last ladybug in the find me game. I can find no game hint support sites either. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a bug (ha ha) in the program? I have spent weeks looking but always find the ones I've already found. Can anyone out there help me? I am not a child, but my daughter can't find it either. Apparantly the game will not finish until all bugs are found because I have found all the treasures. Does this game not have more than one complete game to play? I thought it had 3 like treasure hunt.
Thanks,

My 8 yr old loves I spy!

For those who say this is boring, maybe your kids should just stick to video games. My son is loving the books and the computer games. He conquers them pretty quickly and we have to buy more but hey, it's getting his mind working looking for hidden items. We went for an open house at his school a few months ago and the teacher picked up an I Spy book and said that it was the main thing all the kids fought over in class. We love all the books, computer games and the gameboy game that is out. Good investment for little thinkers out there!

What a great piece of software for me and my four year old!

My daughter and I play with I Spy 2-3 times a week. Not only does it have the "find an item" games, but it has organizational and grouping games. For instance, in one game, there are several items on the screen and two circles. In one circle, you need to put metal things, in the other circle, you put money. But, the circles also overlap, and in that overlap, you need to put metal money. It builds upon that concept with several other ggroups of objects, and it has taught my daughter a lot more about the world around her.

Be wary because this software will not work with Windows XP. I Spy Junior and I Spy Spooky Mansion will not work either. I looked EVERYWHERE on the net for troubleshooting help and nada!
