My students are having so much fun! I put the students in groups and have them discuss the clues of the riddle and write down what their groups thinks the answer is. Then, we check the bag to see if they are correct and discuss why we are off if needed.

This resource is great to use for behavior incentives and/or an end of the year countdown! My students enjoyed it a LOT!
Tiffany W. –
My students were excited to read and figure out the riddle each day. I put the riddle in an envelope and hung it one the board until we opened it each day. They were distraught the one day that I forgot to display the envelope because they didn’t think we were going to do a riddle that day. Thank you so much for this resource!
Gail H –
I used this for the last two weeks of school. The students could not wait to “solve” the riddle. Once everyone had the opportunity submit their answer, we solved it and students received their “prize!”
I used this in lieu of ‘end-of-the-year’ class gifts. Much less stressful and much more fun! I will use it again next year!
Stephanie I. –
My students looked forward to each morning to see if they could guess the riddle. Very cute activity for the end of the year.
Aubrey C. –
This was an amazing way to end the school year. It had my students engaged and excited for each new bag. It also had them using their critical thinking skills to try to figure out what was in the bag. I will be using this again next year!
Chelsea Gooden –
I really like that this is editable. I was able to come up with my own activities and riddles. The students enjoyed trying to figure out the riddles. Lots of low prep/ no cost activities available. Thanks again for a great resource!

I was able to use a few of these at the end of this year, and the students love having a mystery to solve each day! I will definitely be getting a little more ahead and doing all of these to end the year this coming one.

This was exactly what I was hoping for. I loved that they had to think about it – even for a moment – rather than me just saying “Today we will..” It gave an element of mystery and surprise that the kids loved.

Oh my goodness!

Thank you so much for creating this fun idea and way of ending the year! AND for including an editable option!
