Provide a small colorful bag that children can take home and bring back to school with a special item inside. Alternatively, let them place an object from the classroom inside. Sing the following song to the tune of “Big Bad Wolf”:

What's inside the (yellow) bag?

The (yellow) bag? The (yellow) bag?

What's inside the (yellow) bag? Nobody knows but _______.

Have the child with the bag tell one thing about what's inside such as “It's round” and everyone tries to guess what it is. Then everyone sings again:

Please won't you tell us one more thing.

One more thing. One more thing.

Please won't you tell us one more thing

And we will try to guess.

Continue until the children guess what's in the bag.

This could be done in large group.
