What's in the Bag

Materials needed: pillow case, assorted sports items (golf ball, tennis ball, Frisbee, ping pong
ball, base ball mitt, etc.), paper, pencils, timer


Play: Fill the pillow case with assorted sports items. Using the timer, allow each person 15
seconds to reach inside and feel what is in there. Each person then writes down what he thinks is
in the bag. Remind the players to be specific – don’t just say “ball”, but say “golf ball” or “basketball”.
Don’t share findings with other players. The person with the most correct sports items
wins a small prize.
