Ice breakers for blind dates

The thrill of a blind date! Ice breakers can help set the tone and make the experience more enjoyable. Here are some fun and creative ice breaker ideas for a blind date:

  1. The One-Word Game: Each person says a word that describes themselves, such as "adventurous" or "quirky." Then, the other person has to guess what the word means to them.
  2. Would You Rather: Present two fun and silly options, such as "Would you rather go on a hot air balloon ride or go skydiving?" This game encourages conversation and laughter.
  3. Two Truths and a Lie: Each person shares two true statements about themselves and one false statement. The other person has to guess which one is the lie.
  4. The Human Bingo: Create bingo cards with different traits, characteristics, or interests (e.g., "has traveled to another country" or "speaks more than one language"). Each person has to find someone who fits each of the characteristics and get them to sign the corresponding square.
  5. Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of items or challenges that the couple has to complete together, such as "take a photo with a stranger" or "find a restaurant with a unique menu item."
  6. The Story Game: Each person starts telling a story, and then the other person has to continue the story in their own words. This game encourages creativity and conversation.
  7. What's Your Favorite...: Ask each other about your favorite books, movies, TV shows, music, or hobbies. This game can lead to some great conversations and common interests.
  8. The Would-You-Date-Yourself Quiz: Create a quiz with questions like "Would you date someone who loves to travel?" or "Would you date someone who is a foodie?" This game can be a fun way to get to know each other's preferences.
  9. The Word Association Game: Take turns saying a word, and then the other person has to say a word that is associated with the original word. For example, if the first person says "beach," the other person might say "vacation."
  10. The Gratitude Game: Each person shares three things they're grateful for, and then the other person has to guess why they're grateful for each thing.

Remember, the goal of ice breakers is to have fun and be yourself. Choose a game that you both feel comfortable with, and don't be afraid to be silly or creative!
