I was wanting to create a Groundhog Day I-Spy game for you and then I had this brilliant idea to make it more of a whole set! 💎
The first free printable Groundhog Day I-Spy is a prediction sheet. Kids can color in the flower or the snowflake to vote for what they think will happen on Groundhog’s Day. Will the Groundhog show his shadow or not? Will it be winter or spring?
You could even turn it into a classroom game where you have the kids vote and then turn in their coloring sheets and wait to see what happens. If you tally votes as a class, it’s a great, quick graphing moment! 😊
Once you find out if it’ll be winter or spring, you can give the winners something small as a prize like a free coloring bookmark and a couple pieces of candy.
Then have the kids color in whichever Groundhog Day I-Spy printable won- spring or winter (shadow or no shadow), as a secondary classroom activity on/after February 2.

If he sees his shadow, the tradition says we’ll have 6 more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t see his shadow, it means an early spring.
What day is Groundhog Day?
Groundhog Day is February 2 each year.
• Other printables are either functional OR cute. I bridge the gap between the two. Since I'm a single mom and don't have time to mess around and am a kid at heart, I love something that actually propels me forward and gets the job done quickly, while still having that super cute vibe I'm known for.
• I'm a graphic designer FIRST. This means my printables, whether free or paid for, will always be of the highest quality and print crisp and clear on any printer.
• I love what I do and I do the work myself. I'm not hiring these out. This is my life, my hobby, my passion, my heart.
• My fans are obsessed with my work. To date, I've made over $23M on printables alone (organically) in the past 8 years.
Yes! Except for some large binders, all printables on the blog are 100% free for personal use. I make these because I genuinely want you to have something cute and helpful right now without having to spend a dime. You deserve a life that feels more peaceful, more organized, and more you, and if a simple printable can make your day feel lighter, I am so happy to give that to you.
Absolutely! You're welcome to print as many copies as you need for your own students or church groups. I only ask that you do not edit them in any way (leaving the full copyright line in tact) or sell them or host the digital files on other websites. Please always link back to this post to share with others.
For best results, I recommend printing on 8.5"x11" white paper. These are professionally designed as high-resolution PDFs so they will stay crisp and clear, making them perfect for any printer.
