Ice breaker for a drug abuse presentation

Here are some icebreaker ideas that can help set a positive and engaging tone for a drug abuse presentation:

  1. Two Truths and a Lie: Ask each participant to come up with two true statements about themselves and one false statement. The others have to guess which one is the lie. This game can help people get to know each other and can be a fun way to break the ice.
  2. Human Bingo: Create bingo cards with different traits, characteristics, or interests in each square (e.g. "has traveled to another country", "speaks more than one language", etc.). Each participant has to find someone who fits each of the characteristics and get them to sign the corresponding square.
  3. The Name Game: Have each participant introduce themselves and share a unique fact about themselves that starts with the same letter as their name (e.g. "I'm Sarah and I love sailing"). This can help people remember each other's names and can be a fun way to get to know each other.
  4. Would You Rather: Prepare a list of "Would You Rather" questions related to drug abuse (e.g. "Would you rather have a friend who uses drugs or a friend who is addicted to drugs?", "Would you rather have a family member who uses drugs or a family member who is addicted to drugs?", etc.). Ask each participant to choose which option they prefer and explain why.
  5. Scavenger Hunt: Create a scavenger hunt that requires participants to find and interact with each other. For example, you can ask them to find someone who has a similar favorite hobby or someone who has been affected by drug abuse in some way.
  6. Word Association Game: Ask each participant to write down a word related to drug abuse (e.g. "addiction", "recovery", "support", etc.). Then, ask each participant to explain why they chose that word. This can help people share their thoughts and feelings about drug abuse in a safe and respectful way.
  7. Personal Connection: Ask each participant to share a personal experience or story related to drug abuse. This can help people feel more connected to each other and can be a powerful way to build empathy and understanding.

Remember to keep the icebreaker activity brief and relevant to the topic of drug abuse. The goal is to create a positive and engaging atmosphere, not to distract from the main purpose of the presentation.
