Get set up

Gather the required materials: Stocking and safe familiar 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 objects in a large stocking.
  2. A player reaches in without looking.
  3. Let them feel one chosen object for up to 30 seconds.
  4. They make a guess before pulling it out.
  5. Replace the object 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 easier objects for kids or a team clue format for adults.

Make it a great round

Avoid sharp, breakable, messy or allergenic objects.

Keep everyone comfortable

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