Get set up

Gather the required materials: Opaque bag or box plus safe objects. Set them out before explaining the first round. Choose an indoor area where the group can participate without blocking walkways.

LET’S PLAY

Here’s how it works.

  1. Place several safe familiar objects in an opaque bag or box.
  2. A player reaches in without looking and chooses one object.
  3. Give them up to 30 seconds to feel it.
  4. They make one guess, then reveal the object.
  5. Replace it and rotate players.

A few ground rules

Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.

Mix it up

Use themed objects, team guessing or allow three descriptive clues before the guess.

Make it a great round

No sharp, breakable, hot, messy or allergenic items.

Keep everyone comfortable

Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
