Letter I Spy Fall Mats

Print the mats and allow students to search for the letters hidden throughout each fall-themed picture. Depending on the directions provided on the selected mat, children can circle, color, cover, or check off the letters they find.

For a reusable center, print the pages on cardstock and laminate them. Students can use dry-erase markers to circle each letter. They can also cover letters with mini erasers, counters, pom-poms, or play dough balls.

Magnifying glasses make the activity even more engaging. Encourage students to move slowly across the page and examine each section carefully. This supports visual tracking and helps children develop an organized search strategy.

You can model the activity by thinking aloud:

“I am looking for the letter B. I will begin at the top and move across the picture. When I find a B, I will circle it and keep looking.”
