A light-activated, sound-providing device (22) is secured to the upper surface of a mounting board (12) by a film formed of translucent material (26) thereby sealing the sound-providing device (22) therebetween. The sound-providing device (22) is mounted spaced from the longitudinal end of the mounting board (12) which is inserted between the bag (38) and the package (16) so that the sound-providing device (22) is positioned adjacent the top of the bag (38). In a preferred form, the sound-providing device (22) is not activated while in the interior of a closed package (16) but when the package (16) is opened, the sound-providing device (22) is activated providing a sound for prize announcement, attention getting, or a similar function. A removable, opaque label (34) is positioned on the translucent material (26) over the sound-providing device (22) to prevent light from activating the sound-providing device (22) during handling and manipulation of the sound-providing assembly (10) and in the preferred form is removed prior to its placement and sealing in the package (16).
