Product Information

Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. Once the bag is successfully retrieved, that player tears off the piece of the bag that their mouth touched. 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.

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. You’ll notice from the blurry pictures that this is an active game with a lot of movement. There can be some pretty funny contortions, particularly when the bag gets down really low. There have been times in our competitive family when all that was left of the bag was a single piece of paper laying flat on the ground and our son managed to retrieve it! A bag: I like to use a drawstring bag because it means my toys don’t fall out when I’m travelling between visits, but a pillowcase works just as well too! So if you’re coaching parents/caregivers to do this activity at home, encourage them to use any kind of bag.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. When you pull an object/toy out of the bag, hold it up near your face, so that the child is looking at you and your mouth when you say the words. It’s suitable for ages 8 years and over, and at least two players are required to play. What do I do if I lose the character cards? 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. 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!

One of my favourite activities to use in play-based therapy is a “What’s in the Bag?” activity. My “feely bag” is full of toys and everyday objects which can all be used to elicit language from young children. Over the years I have found the “What’s in the bag?” activity to be a fun and effective activity to use with late talkers and young children who have language delay. Today I wanted to share why I like using them so much, and some ways in which you can use ‘What’s in the bag?’ activities in your early intervention therapy sessions too! 5 reasons to do the “What’s in the bag?” activity in your sessions: 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 Take it in turns to take a toy out of the bag; pause and wait to give the child time to respond. Name the toy and encourage the child to play with it. 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.

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. Once a player’s raised foot touches the ground or one of their hands touches the ground, they are eliminated from the game. We have played the Bag Game both outside and inside. We once played it with an empty cereal box because we didn’t have a paper bag to use. It is a great boredom buster on a snow day and an even better ice breaker at group events or a game for youth. 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.

Pros: Categories allow you to adjust what types of cards go in the bag, can be played with a large group Put all of the toys in the bag, the adult holds onto the bag and gains the child’s attention. The adult then asks “What’s in the bag?” (I often shake the bag so the toys make a noise too as this really grabs their attention). 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. It’s also possible to use ‘feely bags’/”what’s in the bag?” activities with other groups of children and not just young toddlers. The activity can be modified so that you have the objects in the bag and you take it in turns to choose an object but rather than pulling it out straight away, the person has to describe it (talk about its shape, size, how it feels, what you do with it, etc.) and the other person has to guess what it is. This is great for working on building vocabulary, expanding utterances, and word-finding skills with older children. 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?Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame.
