“What's in the bag?” is a fun way to experience nature indoors and out! It’s very inexpensive to make, which is one of the reasons this is a perfect game for camping.

Materials needed:

• A non-transparent bag
• Lots of objects from your campsite

Activity:

• Gather some objects from around your campsite: sticks, pinecones, leaves, rocks, etc.
• Place a couple of objects in each bag.
• Have your child reach into the bag but don’t let them peek inside.
• After they have had a moment to feel and explore the object, let them guess what it is before taking it out of the bag.

You can even create a reward system. For example, whoever gets the most correct guesses gets the first hot dog at dinner. Get creative and have fun!
