Trading Beans

11th September 2009 by Shandri Brown

Use this to get people mingling at the start of an event or even just as a 5 minute filler while you transition between activities.

You will need: A few bags of Jelly Beans.

Give everybody in the room 10 jelly beans, making sure they have an assortment of colours. Their mission is to go and convince people to trade jelly beans with them so that they have 10 of one colour.

They can only trade one jelly bean with a person at a time. They must keep approaching different people to swap beans. Make it more interesting by having a countdown timer on the screen creating a sense of urgency.
