Guess the Book Paper Bag Project

Each child picks a book without telling the title, fills in the bag and reads one clue at a time while the class guesses. Send the project home or run it in class over a week.

Three pages after the cover. Page 1 lists the supplies and 6 steps. Page 2 is the Guess My Book! cover to draw a clue on and glue to a paper lunch bag. Page 3 has clue cards for the hardest, medium and easiest clue, the author's first letter and the genre, plus more clue ideas and a secret answer line.

3 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 32 National Reading Month resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our National Reading Month activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for 1st Grade to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 6-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 1st Grade to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
