Starburst Icebreaker

I'm not going to turn this blog into a crafting blog or anything... but I did want to record one simple activity I did with the Cub Scouts last week.  I am a new den leader (never done this before!) in a brand new ward (don't know anyone!).  So I did a little icebreaker activity that the boys enjoyed and was helpful to me.

I had a bowl of Starburst candies and asked each boy to take a handful.  Of course, they took BIG handfuls, so that would work for my benefit.  For each color Starburst they had, they had to tell me something about themselves.  Here's the code:

RED = a FACT about you.  (birthday, # of siblings, etc)
ORANGE = something you are GOOD at.
YELLOW = something you do NOT like very much.
PINK = something you LIKE a lot!

Simple and fun.
