assorted items to smell (ie. an onion, orange, banana skin,
fabric softener sheet, bar of soap, herbal tea bag, etc.) JUST
BE AWARE OF ANY ALLERGIES!
What to do:
encourage children to use their
crayons to decoraate their lunch bag while it is still folded shut
children should also label their
bags with their names
tell children that they are going
to make a ‘smelly bag’
explain that a ‘smelly bag’ has
something inside it that other people must try and guess just bysmellling
inside! NO PEEKING!
let each child then come and choose
one item from the large paper grocery bag or ‘BIG SMELLY BAG’ but
to hide it inside their ‘LITTLE SMELLY BAG’ ready to play a game
when all children have chosen an
item for their smelly bag, they may enjoy going around to their
friends and seeing if their friends can guess what they have and
vice versa!
