Paul Lamond 6375 Who's in the Bag Game, Multi

Product Information

Once the child has played with the toy for a short while (or for as long as their attention lasts!), you can hold the bag up and ask the question “What’s in the bag?” again, then get another person to take something out of the bag. If it’s just you and the child, then take it in turns with each other, but if parents or caregivers are present, you can encourage them to join in (or preferably lead the activity) too! The game is simple, fast-paced and easy to play making it suitable for 2 or more players of ages 8 years and over. Playing Who’s in the Bag

A range of familiar toys/objects: I like to have a selection of small toys such as pretend food, a hairbrush, some cars (different sizes and colours if possible), a cup, a plate, a spoon, a ball, a teddy, some bubbles and some pretend animals. I typically have around 10 or so items, but this can vary depending on the child’s language and attention skills and the number of children I’m working with in each session. The ‘What’s in the bag?’ activity is fun, engaging, easy to implement and free! You can use toys and objects that you have readily available in the home, daycare, or clinic setting. Use simple language to comment on the toy and what the child is doing. For example, if they take a car out of the bag, you could say “car”, “blue car”, if they push it, you could say “pushing the car”, “fast car” etc. When you model the words, be sure to keep the language simple and emphasise the key words.Our neighbour Christie introduced our family to the Bag Game years ago and it is always a hit on family game night. This easy game requires exactly one item and can be played anywhere. It can be played with large groups or small groups and with people of all ages. It seriously does not get simpler or better than The Bag Game! You will want to play this in a fairly large area so that everyone has room to manoeuvre. We have found that everyone develops a bit of their own style in this game. Some put their other leg way up high and use it as a counterbalance. Some crouch low to the ground with their whole body while others bend their upper half down. One of our sons places one foot on top of the other before crouching down. Our family loves this activity. There is always much hilarity that ensues as everyone stands around watching the person whose turn it is. There is laughter and cheering. Sometimes, there are some attempts to distract the person, especially when it comes to siblings!

The five different categories allow you to tailor the cards to the group you’re playing with, but within the categories there is a wide range. For instance, the people category includes both well-known figures as well as professions or items often associated with people (such as a wallet or driver’s license). The range within the categories ensures the game stays challenging. You can also customize the length of the game by adjusting the number of cards per player that you use. The bag itself is a little small, but the cards are a nice quality, with large print. Another variation is to allow each player three strikes per turn or per game wherein their raised foot or one of their hands can touch the ground twice without that player being eliminated. The game comes with blank cards. If you lose a character card, just write the character on the blank card. Also, the game can be played with frequently known characters, so you can create your own set! Is the timer necessary?

Use simple language to describe the toy. For example, if they take a car out of the bag, you could say “car”, “blue car”. You can build on the language you use as they get older . I love using “What’s in the bag?” activities with little ones. Here are 5 reasons why I love this activity…

If your baby is not sure how to play with the toy, you can model how . If you're playing with a hairbrush, you can use the brush to brush your hair. Let your child look at it and describe what you see . What colour is it? Is it big or small? Soft or hard? Does it make a sound?Now, get your child’s attention and ask them "what's in the bag?". You could shake the bag or sing a song too.
