You need to make what the object being guessed is relevant to the audience of preschoolers and you guesses are unambiguous. \n\nTelevision\n1. Turn on\n2. Watch\n3. Turn off\n\nWindow\n1. See through\n2. In a wall\n3. Open and Close\n\nDoor\n1. Open\n2. Walk through\n3. Close

I would take a note book pen and pencil.  Then I got the sylabus from the teacher and saw what he required.  IE. note boor or a three ring binder.  Also kids will wait after class and sell their books from the previous semester so you can score some killer deals if you wait until after the first day to get books.

Fake lotto tickets are the only thing that really come to mind.  I would google "gag gifts" and I think you will get so many ideas the hard part will be chosing just a couple.

Taters and Tots... We have the Taters if you bring the Tots...\n\nCircus... Kids always want to run away to there...\n\nJust kidding... I just had to do that...\n\nBut try to think of something easy to remember, easy to say, and that sounds appealing... I know that's not what you are looking for... But I bet you could come up with something if you tried...

Four games that I use with any age. Be aware that these are very active games. You mentioned that this is for a class. How appropriate these games are depends on how active the class is going to be.\n\n1) THIS IS A MOOSE\nAh, the name game. Everyone sits in a circle. You pick up a random object (a pen, a stick, an orange, whatever) and turn to the person on your left and say "This is a Moose." This, of course, will cause ample confusion among the group. That is your cue to insist empathetically that this is a moose and not a pen/stick/orange/whatever (You don't have to, but I find it entertaining). From there it goes like this:\n\nYou (Rachel): (to the person to your left) This is a Moose.\n\nPerson to your left (John): A what?\n\nYou: A Moose.\n\nJohn: Oh! A moose! (John takes the moose and turns to the next person in the circle) Rachel says that this is a moose.\n\nNext person in the circle (Amy): A what?\n\nJohn: (turns to you) A what?\n\nYou: A Moose.\n\nJohn: (turns to Amy) A moose.\n\nAmy: Oh! A moose. (Amy takes the moose and turns to the next person in the circle) John says that Rachel says that this is a moose.\n\nNext person in the circle (Elizabeth): A what?\n\nAmy: (turns to John): A what?\n\nJohn (turns to you): A what?\n\nYou: A moose.\n\nJohn (to Amy): A moose.\n\nAmy (to Elizabeth): A moose.\n\nElizabeth: Oh! A moose. (Elizabeth takes the moose and turns to the next person in the circle) Amy says that John says that Rachel says that this is a moose.\n\nNext person in the circle (Brian): A what?\n\n...Well you get the idea. Keep going all the way around the circle until you come back to yourself. This is your opportunity to show off your name skills prowess by saying: "Aaron says that Joe says that Gina says that Matt says that Shannon says that Alison says that Jeremy says that Marco says that Marie says that Brian says that Elizabeth says that Amy says that John says that I said that this was a moose."\n\nIt will take some coaxing on your part to get the game going. You will have to tell each person exactly what they have to say for at least two or three people. After that people tend to get into the rhythm of it more. It's fun to see how fast you can go. \n\nAnother thing to add to keep things interesting: Once a rhythm has been established try changing the item. When John turns to you and asks "A what?" you tell him: "A lamppost." When he looks at you oddly insist that it is a lamppost and continue. Next time say it's a bottle of water (or whatever floats your boat). Let people know that they can change the item as it passes them if they want (they don't have to). It's fun to see what creative things people can come up with. You can guide it with your own answers. Some good "items": The Beatles, Egypt, an Easter Egg, the moon, a cockroach, you get the idea.\n\n\n2) THE ICE BREAKER\nThis one isn't a name game, but I find it's a great ice breaker. Literally! \n\nGet some really long string. One at a time each person has to put the string down their shirt and then down through their pant leg (you could add something here where they have to tell three things about themselves while they are doing it). Once everyone is chained together then comes the ice. In advance of the exercise you freeze a spoon in a paper cup of water (as though your were making an ice pop). Now that everyone is chained together you tie the end of the string to the spoon. Now they have to get themselves unchained without cutting the string or taking the ice off the end of the string. \n\n*Note: For expediency, you can tie an ice pop to both ends of the string. That way two people can be unchaining themselves at a time.\n\n\n3) THREE TRUTHS AND A LIE\nTaking turns, each person has to tell three truths and a Lie about themselves (in any order). Everyone else has to guess which is the lie. \n\nFor example, I might say: I play piano, I have been to Japan, I love strawb

Games of skill and games of chance. Ah, the debates I've had between the differences. Here are a couple of suggestions on games of skill:\n\n* Trivia Q&A: possibly the most common. Make up cards with trivia-type questions on them and play game-show style.\n\n* Bean bag toss: each 'pot' represents a different answer. Label pots 'A', 'B' and 'C'. Read off multiple choice Q&A and let players toss a soft ball into the correct pot.\n\nHope this helps!

Try your luck at the dollar store. They might have some silly kids toys that could become trophies.

My kids participated in the 24 Challenge tournaments at their schools.  This is a great way to get them thinking creatively about math.\n\nCheck out this link:\n\nhttp://www.24game.com/aboutus/aboutushowto.htm\n\nIt tells how to play and shows a sample card.

No no no no no!  For my birthday last year, we had a giant scavenger hunt.  You invite around 15 kids and have 5 parents be "designated drivers."  You put the kids in groups of 3 and give each group $45 and a list of items they need to go get.  Send them to the mall to get pictures, send them to McDonalds to get chicken, Burger King for fries, Subway for napkins, etc.  Trust me, it is A LOT of fun...they'll get really competitive so they can have the bragging rights!

Please refrain from buying any little knicknack with an apple, school desk, little book, blackboard, teaching poem etc. on it -  I work for a school system and too many of us get these from our students (some teachers have received hundreds of these little "teacher" gifts).  What about putting together a beautiful gift basket with bubble bath, lotion, bath gel, a candle, loofa and a pretty wine glass and a bottle of wine.  Put a thoughtful note  - something to the effect; "After a tough day teaching you deserve to relax and pamper" - "and after listening to small children whining and talking all day - have a little wine yourself".   I loved a similar gift I got from coworkers - and each time I took a long bath I remembered their kindness.

Bury a bunch of marbles in two (or more) large tubs full of Jello. Then have a relay race, the kids have to take off their shoes, pick a marble out with their toes and hop back to the the start carrying the marble in their toes, then they tag the next person who then takes off their shoe ... first team done wins!\nLook here for LOTS of great activites with plenty of opportunity to build on the game and teach a spiritual theme.\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0070465134/102-2979478-7200137?v=glance&n=283155

try offering food in fun shapes.  I used to use cookie cutter to shape sandwiches into stars, bear, etc to get one of my boys to eat.\n\nanother idea is to make it a game.  I had the boys pretend to be dinosaurs and then we had to eat the tree tops (broccoli) and berries.
