Ice breaker for introduction at training

Here are some fun and engaging icebreaker ideas for an introduction at a training session:

  1. Two Truths and a Lie: Each participant shares two true statements about themselves and one false statement. The others have to guess which one is the lie.
  2. Human Bingo: Create bingo cards with different traits, characteristics, or interests (e.g., "has traveled to another country," "speaks more than one language," etc.). Participants need 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 or interest that starts with the same letter as their name (e.g., "I'm John, and I love jogging").
  4. Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of items or challenges that participants need to complete (e.g., "find someone wearing the same color shirt as you," "take a photo with someone who has the same birthday as you," etc.).
  5. Word Association Game: Have each participant write down a word that describes themselves (e.g., "adventurous," "creative," etc.). Then, ask each person to explain why they chose that word.
  6. Show and Tell: Ask each participant to bring an object that represents something about themselves (e.g., a favorite book, a hobby-related item, etc.). Have each person explain the significance of the object.
  7. Would You Rather: Present two options and ask participants which one they would prefer (e.g., "would you rather go on a hot air balloon ride or go skydiving?").
  8. The One-Word Game: Ask each participant to come up with a word that describes their personality, strengths, or goals. Then, have each person explain why they chose that word.
  9. Speed Friending: Inspired by speed dating, have each participant talk to someone for 2-3 minutes, then ring a bell and have them move on to talk to someone else.
  10. Group Mural: Provide a large piece of paper or whiteboard and ask participants to contribute to a group mural that represents their shared goals, values, or interests.

Remember to keep the icebreaker activity brief, fun, and relevant to the training topic. The goal is to help participants feel comfortable and build connections with each other.
