How to run it

  1. Ice-Breakers Ice-breakers are group activities that invite people to interact, share & generate lots of laughter.
  2. Ice breaker games help people get to know one another, strengthen relationships and have fun.
  3. When designed and facilitated appropriately, they are always conducted in a non-threatening manner, are success-oriented and require minimal verbal and decision-making skills.
  4. Get-to-know-you games provide an opportunity for the members of your group - especially if they don’t know each other - to begin to feel more comfortable with one another.
  5. So, if an activity or experience you are considering does not tick off 3, 4 or (hopefully) all 5 of these attributes and you’re still calling it an ‘ice-breaker,’ don’t do it!
  6. In essence, an ice-breaker prepares your group for its purpose. Without this necessary preparation - or priming - your group is less likely to be as ‘successful’ as it could.
