Ice Breakers

[Esther]

Finish the Sentence
Go around the room and have each person complete one of these sentences (or something similar):

◦The best job I ever had was...
◦The worst project I ever worked on was...
◦The riskiest thing I ever did was...

This is a good technique for moving on to a new topic or subject. For example, when starting a class and you want everyone to introduce themselves, you can have them complete “I am in this class because...”

You can also move on to a new subject by asking a leading question. For example if you are instructing time management, “The one time I felt most stressed because I did not have enough time was ...”

This will be a ladies only group. Maybe
*The worst dish I ever made was...

etc.

I liked all of your ideas, Esther.

I think that a "Get-to-know-you" and an "ice-breaker" can be the same and can also be different.

Sometimes an ice breaker is used to get everyone on their way to relaxing (via games) and not necessarily a get-to-know-you type of game. So, I think the setting is important. You sound like you are wanting specific "Get-to-know-you" ideas.

I'm open for all ideas. We will be in a meeting room setting with tables and chairs and FOOD.

Reach out and meet people and let them get to know you.

How many people?

Another one we've done is to make a list of questions:
Somebody born in the month of June________
Somebody who wears a size 9 shoe_________
Somebody who likes to shower at bedtime____________
Somebody who has read Little Women_________

All kinds of questions - you get the picture.

Make enough copies of these questions so every person there gets one. Then turn them loose. The instructions are to find people in the room who fit the question. the kicker is that you cannot use the same person for more than one of the questions. So if they're born in June, they can't also sign for showering at bedtime. See who can fill in their papers the fastest.
