As the students walk in my class on the first day of school, I stand by the door with a bowl of M&M’s. I instruct them to take 1-4 M&M’s. They have to decide the number that they wish to take. I also instruct them not to eat them until I tell them to. Finally, I explain to my students that for every M&M; they picked, they have to tell the class one thing about themselves. I demonstrate the activity by being the first one to share and eat my M&M’s!
