Looking for a unique, low-stress way to help students break the ice? Speed Friending with Grab, Go, Color is an engaging program designed to encourage connections while tapping into the calming power of creativity. With this activity, your students can express themselves artistically, walk away with new friendships and take home a personalized keepsake to remember the experience.

What Is Grab, Go, Color?

Grab, Go, Color is a dynamic, hands-on program that combines three of Neon Entertainment’s most popular DIY coloring kits into one convenient package. Each kit features a combination of customizable Zlipperz, photo frames, and tote bags, all designed to be colored in using included fabric markers.

The activity goes beyond being just arts and crafts. Coloring is known to promote mindfulness and relaxation, helping to calm the mind and reduce stress. With Grab, Go, Color, you give your students a quiet creative outlet that doubles as a powerful social tool.

Bringing the Event to Life

Here’s how to transform your event space into a hub of creativity and connection:

1. Place Your Order: Neon Entertainment offers package sizes of 150, 300, or 450 pieces or more, depending on your group’s needs. You’ll receive everything shipped directly to your campus: tote bags, Zlipperz, photo frames, and fabric markers.

2. Set the Scene: Organize your space with color-themed tables. Each table is stocked with markers of the same color. One table for reds, another for greens, etc. This adds a layer of fun to the coloring process and gives the room a vibrant, organized look.

3. Add Conversation Starters: At each table, include conversation cards with prompts designed to help students open up and connect. These icebreaker questions encourage interaction and keep the atmosphere light and engaging.

4. Rotate and Relax: Give students a set amount of time at each table. As the timer goes off, they rotate to a new table, meet new peers, and add more color to their creations. By the end of the event, each participant will have a fully colored piece and a handful of new friends.
