Grown-up guided play

Pack Light, Pack Right

Sort pretend outing items into “need,” “maybe,” and “stay home”—then make a bag that can close.

Best for ages 4–610–15 minutesPrint & play

What you’ll need

  • Pack Light, Pack Right sorting sheet
  • Pencil or crayons
  • Five to eight safe, pretend outing items

Try it together

  1. Choose a pretend outing, such as a walk to the park.
  2. Place safe objects where everyone can see them.
  3. Use the printable to sort each object into NEED, MAYBE, or STAY HOME.
  4. Pack the final choices and celebrate a bag that closes comfortably.

Try one together

The bag will not close. What could you try?

Choose an answer, then talk about why.

Grown-up note

Keep the activity playful. There is no single correct packing list; ask children to explain their thinking.
