Kids love to guess what's hidden in the bag! This classic lesson plan allows them to do just that by using two of their senses: their sense of touch and their sense of hearing. Objects are hidden inside a sock, and pupils must guess what they are based on how they feel. Then, objects are placed in a box, and they must guess what they are by the sound they make when the box is shaken.
