Objectives

• Party Games
• Icebreakers/Warmups
• Circle Games

Group Size

Small Medium

Materials

A bag of candy (e.g. M&M’s or Skittles)

Set Up

N/A

Directions

Form the group into a circle. Without telling them any of the details of the activity, pass around the bag of candy and tell them to "take as much as you need." Once everyone has taken some and the bag has gone full circle, ask them to tell one fact about themselves for every piece of candy.

Variation

Before going camping, bring out a roll of toilet paper and ask everyone to take as much as they need. Then, ask them to share a fact for every square.

Variation

When using M&M’s or Skittles assign a specific question to each color of candy.

e.g.

Red - Childhood memory

Orange - Irrational fear

Yellow - Favorite places

Green - Favorite books/albums/TV shows/movies

Purple - Pet peeve

Also can be done with toilet paper, each square representing something they must share. It is super fun with a hiking group as they think it is their TP for the trip so they take a lot.
