Game Preparation
Prepare several lunch bags with one
item in each bag. The number of bags
can be adjusted depending on the time
you have to play the game. You can use
items that can be found around the
house – (i.e. comb, pen, etc) or items
can be according to a specific category
like office supplies, foods, tools,
cosmetics, etc to suit a party theme.
Fold over the top of the bag and staple
closed.
With a marker, number the bags on the
outside

Game Play
1. Participants examine one numbered
bag at a time, and try to identify the
contents ONLY by feeling the them
through the bag.
2. Ask participants to number their
paper according to the number of
bags, and record their answers next to
the appropriate numbers
corresponding to each bag.
3. When all the participants have
identified the items, reveal what is in
each bag. The winner is the
participant who correctly guessed the
most items.

Game Variations
1. Touch - use items with various
textures (i.e. hard, sandpaper, soft,
bumpy, feather, cotton, fur, felt,
hairbrush etc that have identifying
characteristics. You can also use
simple items like staplers etc) You
can allow them to reach inside the
bag, without looking and feel the
item inside the bag or for simply
objects they just feel through the
bag.

2. Smell - Use 2-3 tablespoons of
spices, fruits, or other items with
strong characteristic smells. (i.e.
orange peel, pepper, cinnamon,
oregano, onion, etc. These might
be best in a cloth bag or punch a
few very small holes in the paper
bag with a needle so the scents
can escape

7. Bible Studies based on the book of Jonah
Only. This youth camp curriculum was
designed to teach the basic truths
of obedience in addition to evangelism in the
context of a Biblical character. The advantage
of going through a book and looking at one
man's story is that we see not only the
teaching but the example. It becomes much
more real!

-> Tell me about “Who Do You Say that I AM?”
Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others
say that I am?" It was easy to answer
because it required no conviction, no
commitment, and no risk. But then he
follows that question with another, "Who
do YOU say that I am?"
