ME Bags

Create “ME” bags to help you and your children share your feelings and thoughts more easily.

  • Each person should decorate the outside of a paper bag to look like himself or herself. The bag can show only a face or can be the entire body. Tell your children that these bags now show the outside of themselves—what others see.
  • Put things inside the bag that have special meaning. For example, your child might put a favorite stuffed toy or shirt in the bag.
  • Use the bag to talk about yourselves. What is important to you? Why is something a favorite? What would you like to put in the bag but can’t?
  • Remember to practice active listening.
