Product Information

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 . 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 objective of the game is simple and everyone can participate. Each team must identify as many famous characters indicated on the cards as possible within the given time. This is where the fun begins! Players can mime, describe, act, or sing to help others guess the character. With over 850 characters included, each round is fresh and exciting. The Experience If you enjoy party games that revolve around guessing and memory elements, It’s in the Bag is easy to learn and teach, works with a large group, and has enjoyable team-based play. All aspects that work to make a solid party game. 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?

I love using “What’s in the bag?” activities with little ones. Here are 5 reasons why I love this activity… It is an easy play-based activity to coach parents/caregivers to use as they can use things they have to hand at home. 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.The “What’s in the bag?” activity can also be used to target other skills, such as play skills and social skills (e.g., turn-taking, sharing, etc.). 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! 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?

You can choose to have some players be allowed this exception while others play with the traditional rules of the game. Bring together some fun, safe objects for your child to play with. These could be toys or household objects , like kitchen spoons or a hairbrush.

Things to remember:

Once a player’s raised foot touches the ground or one of their hands touches the ground, they are eliminated from the game. If the child is not sure how to play with the toy, you can model how to play with it. For example, pretend to drink from a cup, use the brush to brush your hair or make animal noises when holding the cow/pig etc. This activity is great at eliciting language from young children, and I find it keeps them engaged throughout my full sessions! There are other games with a similar concept, going through the same cards multiple times, using different methods to get people to guess them — however if you haven’t played one yet or really enjoy the mechanic, It’s in the Bag presents this concept very well. As long as you have a paper bag, this game costs nothing and couldn’t be simpler to set up. We always save paper bags now from stores or take-out at restaurants just for this purpose.
