English:
Our friends at NODDY ask, "Can you guess what is in the bag?"

Sometimes, children need help asking questions to find or discover things that they cannot see. With this activity, you can help your child feel more comfortable with asking questions. In addition, this activity will show children that things do not always seem as they appear.

What you'll need:

  • a pillow case or shopping bag
  • things that will fit into the bag (such as a small stuffed animal, sock, baseball, etc.)

  1. Place an item into the bag without letting the child see it.
  2. Have the child feel the object without looking into the bag.
  3. The child will then ask questions about the object that can only be answered with "yes" or "no."
  4. Keep trying until the child guesses the object.
  5. This game can be played again and again, until the child is better at asking questions.

Espanol:
Nuestros amigos en NODDY le preguntan: Puede Usted adivinar lo que hay en la bolsa?

Aveces, niños necesitan ayuda para descubrir cosas que no pueden ver. Con esta actividad, usted puede hacerles sentir más cómodo haciecendo preguntas. Otro beneficio de hacer esa actividad es enseñar al niño que las cosas pueden aparecer distinto que realmente son.

Materiales:

  • una bolsa
  • objetos que caben dentro de la bolsa (por ejemplo, un animalito, un calcetín, un beisbol, etc.)

  1. Ponga uno de los objetos dentro de la bolsa sin mostrarlo al niño.
  2. Permitale tocar el objeto sin mirar en la bolsa.
  3. Pidale al niño que le haga preguntas, "Si" o "No," sobre el objeto.
  4. Siga usted con ese juego hasta que el niño adivine el objeto.
  5. Se puede repetir ese juego muchas veces hasta que se acostumbre el niño a hacer preguntas.
