1.) When it is time for sharing, arrange the students as described above and give each group sharer a couple of minutes to describe the contents of his/ her bag. Then tell the other four students in the group that they may each ask a question. They cannot ask the sharing person what the snack is, only questions about the snack. Examples: "Is it juicy?"; "Is it a fruit?"; "Is it sometimes a different color?"; and "Is it crunchy?" At the end of an appropriate amount of time, have the sharer open the top of the bag and show each group member the contents. The sharer does not move from his/ her spot on the outside of the circle. Each inside group moves clockwise around the circle so that each sharer will speak to four groups and each group will hear from all four sharers. Follow the same procedure for each movement around the circle. This activity is repeated each day of the week.
