Mini-Lesson: Adding Detail

I'm sad I didn't see this mini-lesson in action!! I heard about it second hand from my kiddo's so I hope I get it right!

One of our cute moms hid different objects in paper bags. One object to a paper bag.  She then paired each child up with a partner.  One was supposed to look inside their bag and see what they object was.  Then they needed to describe it to their partner without saying what it was.  The partner needed to guess what the object was. My son got a yellow pencil in his bag.  

What a GREAT way to help kids practice describing things and gain ideas on how to use descriptive words in their writing!!!
