Age: 5th grade and up
What You Will Need: A bowl of multicolored candy (like M&Ms or skittles) and a posterboard list of challenges correlated with each color. You can also use a die which has a different color on each face.
Set-Up: First, decide what each candy color will require, for example:
Blue candy/die color: Sing a line from your favorite song (and see who can guess it)
Red candy/die color: Hop in a circle on one foot
Orange candy/die color: Imitate your favorite celebrity
Green candy/die color: Do a famous TikTok dance
Purple candy/die color: Tell a funny joke
Write these on an extensive list (but don’t show the list until after everybody has selected their candy). With younger kids – go over the list before starting, so that they know what to do. Giving an example for each of them after reading will be most helpful and fun for the kids.
How to Play: Bring participants into a circle, pass the bowl around and have each teen pick a handful of candy. Tell them they can eat all but one piece. Then, go around the circle and have everyone perform the challenge associated with the selected color. If they don’t like that challenge, they can find someone to swap colors with.
