Warm-up (5min)

Touch-and-guess with one item (sponge) — students offer adjectives before naming. Teacher writes adjective + noun on board.

Main Activity (40min): "Mystery Box Challenge"

Prepare box with 6 safe items (shell, sandpaper, silk, marble, cotton, bark). One student reaches in without looking — describes with 3 adjectives; class guesses. Rotate until all students participate. Round 2 — Adjective sort: picture cards into smooth/rough/shiny columns. Write 4 clue sentences for a new mystery item; partner guesses from writing only. Class vote on best clue paragraph.

Wrap-up (5min)

Draw mystery object + two adjective labels; read one sentence aloud.

Teacher Tips

• Sensory adjectives deepen G1 color/size descriptors for Movers description tasks.
• Hygiene: one bag liner per class or sanitize hands between turns.
• Discourage peeking — blindfold optional for extra suspense.
