Ready?

You are about to play Brown Bag Detective!

Remember to wear your best listening ears when your friends are giving clues, and give good clues for them to listen for when it is your turn!

Remember to Use Adjectives!

Big or Small Soft or Hard Shape Heavy or Light Color Smell Taste Sound

Mystery Items

Go get your mystery items, but keep them in the bag!

Make sure nobody sees them!

Clues

Think about your clues. Do they describe? Will they help your friends guess what

your mystery items are? Give your clues one at a time, allowing

your friends to guess what your mystery item is in between.

Example

My item is small. It is square. It plays music.

Answer

Did your friends guess what your mystery item is?

If they couldn’t, they may ask you some yes or no questions.

Let the Fun Begin!
