Start by passing around the candy and tell each participant to take a few pieces of anything that they want. Instruct them not to eat it yet, though. After they have chosen their candy explain the each pieces of candy represents a question they must answer before they can eat it.
If there is a whiteboard or chalkboard present, write on the board the following:
Red – When was the last time you did volunteer work?
Green – If you could go on a vacation anywhere in the US where would it be?
Blue – Who do you admire as a leader?
Yellow - What did you do to get pocket money as a child?
Orange – What movie can you quote word for word?
Brown - What was your first pet?
It is encourages to change the questions that correspond to each color of candy. 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 answering one question for each candy type that they have.
The uniform, constant and uninterrupted effort of every man to better his condition, the principle from which public and national, as well as private opulence is originally derived, is frequently powerful enough to maintain the natural progress of things toward improvement, in spite both of the extravagance of government, and of the greatest errors of administration. Like the unknown principle of animal life, it frequently restores health and vigour to the constitution, in spite, not only of the disease, but of the absurd prescriptions of the doctor. – Adam Smith
