Introduction with sweets is a method to let players of a group introduce themselves in a more creative way than just saying a few words.

Equipment

You need several sweets of different color (like jelly bears, M&Ms, etc.)

Procedure

Each player may take an arbitrary number of sweets. The trainers do not explain how many may be taken or what the rules of the game are.

Once everybody has taken the sweets, further instructions are given: The players have to introduce themselves. To give them some guidance, the sweets are used. For each item taken, one fact has to be disclosed.

You can also define categories of facts for the different colors. For instance, for each yellow item a hobby, for each blue item, a favorite musician, ... has to be disclosed to the group.
