Skittles Ice Breaker

I chose to use an ice breaker with the class using skittles.  For this activity I first put some skittles in a small plastic baggie.  I just tried to make sure that there was at least one of each color in each bag. Then the students had to share something about themselves with the class for each color.  The amount of information they were to give depended on how many skittles they had for that color.  Here is what I used:

Red Skittle:  Tell class one fact about yourself.

Orange Skittle:  Tell class one fact about someone in your family.

Yellow Skittle:  Tell class about a place you would like to visit or have visited.

Green Skittle:  Tell class about a favorite memory.

Purple Skittle:  Tell class about a favorite movie or television show.

So if a student had 2 red skittles, then they would have to share 2 facts about themselves with the class.  Then I would do the same process for each skittle color.  This will help the class or group to get to know each other better and feel more comfortable around one another.
