How to Play The Gratitude Skittles Game


There are two ways to play:
1. Pass out your Skittles. Each person picks out one or two skittles. Based on the color picked, they share the corresponding thing they are thankful for.
2 – Dump an entire bag of Skittles into a cup or bowl. Pass the cup around and have players pick a candy without looking. Based on the color picked, they share the corresponding thing they are thankful for.
- Red: Name a person you are thankful for.
- Green: Name a place that lifts your mood or feels like home.
- Yellow: Name something small but mighty that brightens your day.
- Purple: Name an adventure (big or small) that you’ll never forget.
- Orange: Name something you’d miss dearly if it disappeared tomorrow.
