As the kids arrived, they were welcomed into the party area where I had a table set up with strange-flavored jelly beans. Jelly Belly has jelly beans called "Bertie Bots Every Flavor Beans", these are real jelly bellies with really strange flavors such as pepper, grass, sausage, etc. I would pass one flavor around in a bowl and give the kids an opportunity to try each flavor. Some flavors were kinda nasty :-), but it suited the whole Harry Potter theme. The kids loved checking out the different and unusual flavors. This was a great ice breaker activity as we all waited for everyone to arrive.
