In this icebreaker, the teacher tells the students to touch something in a particular colour. Each person then has to touch something with that colour.

Aim

Get people to move,

Implementation

The teacher calls out, for example: “Touch something blue!” Each student then goes to touch something with that colour. The teacher continues with different descriptions of colours or textures.
Things can get more complex with specific instructions, for example, to touch something soft with the foot.
