Create a polka-dot bag for the children to use for show and tell during large group. Invite the children to bring in a special toy from home and place it in the bag.


Sing this song:


What's in the polka-dot bag,


nobody knows but me.


What's in the polka-dot bag,


nobody knows but me.


Paul can't tell you,


you will have to guess.


He (she) will give you three clues,


you will do the rest.


Help the child come up with three things that describe his/her object. “It's gray. It has a long tail and it squeaks. Yes, it's a mouse.”
