Candy Color Icebreaker Game
The classic candy color icebreaker: everyone takes a few colored candies, and each color stands for a topic, such as red for a favorite food or blue for a dream. Play it on screen with no candy at all, or print the color chart to use with a real bowl of candy.

Tips
- Tell people to take “as many as they like” before revealing the rules, for a laugh when someone grabs ten.
- For a big group, play at tables of five or six with a printed chart on each.
- Check for allergies before handing out real candy; the on-screen version needs none.
