Candy Introductions
Candy Introductions is a get-to-know-you game that helps people learn new facts about each
other in an easy way. They select various pieces of candy from a bag, and each candy variety
is associated with a fact about themselves which they will introduce to the others. This game
also goes by other names, including the M&M game, Candy Confessions, the Skittles Game,
the Gum Drop game, among others.
Candy Introductions can work with any group size. The icebreaker works best when the
group size is limited to 12, so if you have more than 12, divide the larger group and run the
icebreaker within the smaller sized groups. This icebreaker works best indoors, and is well
suited for classrooms or meeting rooms. Materials required are: candy with about five
different variations (color or candy type), and an optional chalkboard/whiteboard.
Setup for Candy Introductions
Purchase several variety packs of candy, enough for each person to be able to have at least
five pieces. They can be any candy type, but not too many choices (limit it to around five or
six different varieties). Alternatively, you can buy gummy bears, life savers, gum drops,
skittles, m&ms, or any other candy that already has a variety of colors.
Instructions for How to Play
Pass around the candy and tell each participant to choose anywhere from 1 to 5 pieces of
anything that they want. Instruct them not to eat it yet, though. After they have chosen their
candy, you will tell them what each candy type/color represents.
If there is a whiteboard or chalkboard present, write on the board the following:
 Red – Favorite hobbies

 Green – Favorite place on earth
 Blue – Favorite memory
 Yellow -Dream job
 Orange – Wildcard (tell us anything about yourself!)
If you don’t have the above colors, change the above to match the candy types that you have.
Each person takes turns introducing himself or herself, beginning with their name and then
saying one fact for each candy type that they have. This easy introduction game should go
relatively quickly (assuming they weren’t greedy and that they didn’t take too many pieces of
candy!)
