The objects, which should include one or two a little less familiar than the other- like an eggcup or a napkin ring, are placed in a bag. Each player is given a piece of paper and a pencil and is then allowed to put his hand into the sack for one minute. When the minute is up, he writes down all of the objects that he was able to identify. When all the players are finished, the one with the largest number of correct identifications wins the game.

Variations: What From? is a more difficult version, in which parts of familiar objects are used. These might include a piece of a ballpoint pen, the cap from a toothpaste tube, an ornamental belt buckle, a Christmas tree light or similar things culled from desk drawers, medicine cabinets and workshelves.
