Materials
1. sticky tape
2. pieces of paper of different colors
Note: To make it easier, add small pieces of double sided tape to each piece of paper so that youth only need to peel off the covering strip to reveal the adhesive.

Game Objective
Youth walk around the room introducing themselves to each other and taping colored paper pieces to people who remind them of that color in some way.

Game Play
1. Give youth several different-color pieces of construction paper and tape.
2. Have kids each walk around the room and introduce themselves to each other. They must share their name and something unique about themselves.
3. As youth are mingling, they must tape each of their construction paper pieces to people who remind them of that color. As they do so, they must tell the recipient why they chose that color for the person. For example, someone may pick Pink for a girl who’s always cheerful, blue for a guy who’s caring and warm, or brown from someone who is “down to earth.”. Comments must be positive in nature.

Note: Leaders should participate and be proactive to ensure all kids are receiving positive comments. If one or more of the youths seems to be getting little attention, personally provide a positive comment for them.

Application
A rainbow is made of many colors. Its the play of various colors that give it its beauty. A rainbow is also the symbol of promise, or hope. God created us all special and we each hold great promise to bring our gifts and talents to brighten up the lives of others and make life more colorful!
