Ice breakers for marriage seminar
Here are some fun and engaging icebreaker activities that you can use for a marriage seminar:
- The Marriage Word Scramble: Prepare a list of words related to marriage (e.g. love, commitment, trust, etc.) and scramble the letters. Give each couple a copy of the scrambled words and see who can unscramble them all first.
- Couple's Trivia: Prepare a quiz with questions about each couple's relationship, such as how they met, their first date, their wedding day, etc. This can be a fun way to get to know each other better.
- Two Truths and a Lie: Have each couple come up with two true statements about themselves and one false statement. The other couples have to guess which one is the lie. This can be a fun way to learn more about each other.
- The Human Bingo: Create bingo cards with different traits, characteristics, or interests (e.g. "has traveled to another country", "speaks more than one language", etc.). Each couple has to find someone who fits each of the characteristics and get them to sign the corresponding square.
- The Marriage Mosaic: Divide the couples into small groups and give each group a large piece of paper with a picture of a couple (e.g. a couple holding hands, a couple laughing together, etc.). Ask each group to add their own picture to the mosaic, representing their own marriage. This can be a fun way to visualize the diversity of marriages.
- The Five-Word Story: Ask each couple to come up with a five-word story that describes their marriage. For example, "Love, laughter, and adventure together". Then, have each couple share their story with the group.
- The Marriage Timeline: Ask each couple to bring a timeline of their relationship, including important dates and events. Then, have each couple share their timeline with the group and talk about how their relationship has evolved over time.
- The Couple's Interview: Pair up the couples and have them interview each other. The questions can be related to their marriage, such as "What's the best advice you've received about marriage?" or "What's the biggest challenge you've faced in your marriage?"
- The Marriage Song: Ask each couple to come up with a song that represents their marriage. It can be a song that they first danced to at their wedding, a song that they love to listen to together, or a song that reminds them of a special moment in their relationship. Then, have each couple share their song with the group.
- The Gratitude Circle: Have each couple sit in a circle and share three things they're grateful for about their marriage. This can be a great way to focus on the positive aspects of their relationship.
Remember to keep the icebreakers fun and engaging, and make sure they're relevant to the theme of the marriage seminar. Good luck!
