You would go around the room asking each child the question and listening to the answers.  Once the child is finished giving their answers, they can eat those skittles.

You can add in an additional rule in the game.  Once you read the question.  The children have to decide as a group if they want to eat all of their red skittles or each of them give one back to you and have you answer the question as well.  This is a great way to let the children learn more about you.
