Many team building programs start by asking people to introduce themselves. This helps people to relax and to get to know each other quickly and many more meetings, group sessions, training programs and social functions would be much more engaging and enjoyable for the participant if they too were able to experience the magic of a simple ice breaker at the beginning of an event.Rather than simply ask people to introduce themselves (and some leaders even miss out this stage leaving participants to uncomfortably make connections with others on their own) add a little more fun to proceedings .... tell people you want them to try and find out a bit more about each other in a light-hearted and fun way. Ask people to introduce themselves and then add any of the following:
- the place where they were born
- their favourite holiday destination
- if you had a $million what would you spend it on?
- favourite food
- hobby
And a bit more daring you could ask people to describe:
- their favourite joke
- if they were an animal what would it be?
These simple techniques bring a bit of fun to the group and allow people to get to know others in a non-threatening way. They give people some basic and interesting information about others in the group, making it easier to make connections and talk together.
It's easy to make up your own ice breakers too! But for tons of ice breaker ideas for your next meeting, training program, social activity or party check-out our ice breaker ideas web-site for instantly downloadable ice breaker games.
