What's your Name Sweetie - You need about 6 different sweets that have given names like M&M's, Crunch, Wrigley's , etc. 1 Dice (or 2 dice if the crowd is very large) Everyone is seated on the floor in a circle. Packaged bars or sweets are placed in the middle of the circle. Everyone starts by saying their own names. The leader then makes sure that everyone knows what sweet is in the middle. Someone begins by rolling the dice. If they roll a 6, they can take one of the sweets in the middle. The die continues to go quickly around the circle while people keep picking up lollies. When all of the sweets are taken, people then can get other people's sweets. In order to get their sweets, they must state the person's first name and the name of the sweet they hold. The person who rolls a 6 and matches the name of the sweet and the person takes the other's sweet. If they forget either name, they miss their turn and the dice goes to the next person and they continue to roll. (One person can get more than one sweet and people can hide the sweet behind their back). This is a great way of getting to know people's name and how to get your favourite sweets!



Just stroll through the confectionery section of your local supermarket and see what additions you can make to these games...
Love and hugs
