It’s time to start thinking about the new year! Here’s a fun adult New Year’s I Spy Printable Game to enjoy while ushering in 2021.
It’s time for the December Pin Challenge! The purpose of the Pinterest Challenge is to motivate us to not just pin, but to make it happen! This month’s challenge is all about New Year’s or winter projects. Since we’ll probably still be at home to celebrate, I thought it would be nice to create a printable game that we can play for New Year’s at home.
When the kids were younger, we often played I Spy games, like the ones pictured above. It’s a fun game that challenges you to visually find items on a crowded page full of different things. Most I Spy books and printables on Pinterest are for kids, so I wanted to create one that was a little harder for adults and older kids. This was my inspiration pin >> New Years I SPY.
For more New Year’s and Winter ideas, make sure to check out the other host projects at the bottom.

What a fun game! Before a certain virus arrived, I played Bunco each month with a lovely group of ladies. This game would be a riot to play between our Bunco rounds! pinning -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures

This seems like a fun game to play for new years and even during those confined, cold winter days! I like that you can print it out instead of having to buy it! It would also be great to play at New year parties as an ice breaker, too! Thanks for sharing! Pinned!
