What's in the Bag?

Step 1

Pre-Task

The facilitator creates a list of 10 things people could have in their bag:

The list should have about 7 ordinary things like:

- a black phone (or a silver phone, rosegold, etc.)
- an environmental water bottle
- a hair tie
- a pen
- a lip balm
- a computer with at least 1 sticker on it
- someone else's business card
- a train ticket, etc.

The facilitator should add 3 obscure things like:

- a decorative stone
- a skeleton key
- a Rubik's cube
- a candle
- a yellow sharpie, etc...

Step 2

Divide the participants into teams of 3-6 people and ask them to grab their bags/backpacks/etc...

Give them a paper and pen to keep track of their earned points.

Step 3

The Facilitator calls out random items one at a time.

If you have the item get it out of your bag and stand up.

- For each item that the group has the team gets one point.
- For any obscure item, the team gets 3 points.
- Only 1 of each item per person is counted and the team with the most points wins.
- You can count things people have on them, ie: in their pocket.
- Feel free to customize items

Step 4

Whoever has the most points wins!
