Feely bags involve students feeling objects without seeing them and then
guessing as to what each object might be.
Feely Bag Items
Sew 15-20 bags with elastic or draw string tops. Put one artifact related to
the topic into each numbered bag. Place the bags around the room. Have the
students go from bag to bag feeling the artifacts and making notes to
describe its shape, texture, size, how it feels.
The students then write down what they think each object is and the reason
it may be significant to the topic or write an open question that could be
asked to elicit more information.
Once each student has 'felt' each bag a class response time may be used to
reveal each artifact. Alternatively, the activity could be repeated at the
end of the unit when each item could be revealed with a discussion as to the
significance of each artifact.
