Toy Talk Thursday: Shifty Eyed Spies

On this Toy Talk Thursday, we focus on a game for older children and adults that is not only fun to play – but also works on observational skills, social thinking skills, and non-verbal covert communication skills. It is awesome. In order to play, you need to be a keen observer of other players in the game. The game has you use a wink to signal that you have a delivery for another spy, then await their eye-shift that indicates the rendezvous location. All players have to be extremely discreet as if anyone intercepts you, your mission is blown. Shifty Eyed Spies is an engaging and fun game for all ages. From a therapeutic perspective, it is a game that readily has children, youth and adults keenly observing the facial expressions and actions of others in the room. Enjoy!
