The Gratitude M&M Game: A Fun and Colorful Check-In
Looking for an easy and engaging way to bring gratitude into your classroom? Try the Gratitude M&M Game! This simple activity sparks reflection and conversation while making gratitude a little more sweet.
How It Works:
Students randomly grab two or three M&Ms (or Skittles for the chocolate-averse). Each color represents a different category of gratitude. Based on the colors they receive, they’ll share something they’re thankful for in that category.
Color Guide:
🔴 Red – A person you are grateful for (friend, family, teacher, coach, etc.)
🟠 Orange – A place you are grateful for (home, park, vacation spot, favorite store)
🟡 Yellow – A food you love (your go-to comfort food, snack, or meal)
🟢 Green – An experience you’re thankful for (a fun trip, a holiday, a great memory)
🔵 Blue – An item you appreciate (a book, a gift, a favorite hoodie, technology)
🟣 Purple – A personal strength you’re grateful for (kindness, creativity, determination)
How to Play:
Distribute M&Ms – Have students randomly grab two or three M&Ms. (No trading!)
Match to Categories – Use the color guide to determine what they’ll share.
Reflect & Share – Go around the room and have students share their gratitude based on their colors. This can be done in pairs, small groups, or as a whole class.
Optional Twist: If you want to make it even more engaging, allow students to trade one M&M with a neighbor for a category they’re excited to share about!
Why It Works:
Encourages gratitude in a fun, low-pressure way
Builds classroom community through sharing
Gives students a structured way to reflect on the positives in their lives
Try it out and bring some gratitude into your classroom this week.

"This was the best learning experience I’ve ever been a part of. I’ve sat through, and even led, workshops that missed the mark. Nothing here fell short. It flowed gracefully, engaged the audience, and renewed my faith in this work."
