Icebreaker: Food Becomes You

Time: 10 minutes

Overview

This is a fun way for program participants to meet each other and begin talking about food.

Steps

• Gather all participants in a circle.
• Have them take turns answering the following question: If you became the food you eat most often, what food would you be? Give an example: My name is Joyce. I'm Yogurt.
• An alternative opening activity would be to have each participant simply state their name and favorite food.
• Use the title of this icebreaker -- "Food Becomes You" -- to launch a brief discussion about the importance of food.

Does the food you eat influence:

- How you feel?

- How you look?

- What you can do?

- Who you ARE?
