Game run-through

There are many versions of this game, here is our favourite.

Have your group sat in a circle. Take it in turns to take a skittle from the container. When you pick out a skittle you must then answer a question relating to the colour of the skittle.

Red: Share a random fact about yourself.

Yellow: Share what your favourite movie or book is and why?

Orange: Do you have any pets? If yes, share about them; if no, what pet would you have and why?

Green: Share what your favourite food is.

Purple: Share something you like to do for fun.

You can go round for as many rounds as you like and once you have finished using the skittles as a talking point they can be a nice, shared snack!
