Synopsis: Mentors will explain the acronym for remembering the colors of the rainbow (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet) and ask students to name one food of each color to fill Roy’s plate. This is a great opportunity to remind students of the importance of eating colorful and healthy foods! (This Icebreaker pairs nicely with our Roy G. Biv scavenger hunt lesson.) ** Consider using the hand raise/thumbs up feature of your virtual platform to assist with determining who will answer **
