Ice breakers you can play via text

Here are some fun icebreaker games you can play via text:

  1. Would You Rather: Send two options to the group and ask them to choose which one they prefer. For example, "Would you rather go on a hot air balloon ride or go skydiving?"
  2. Two Truths and a Lie: Ask each person to send three statements about themselves, two of which are true and one that's false. The others have to guess which one is the lie.
  3. Hangman: Create a word or phrase and have the group guess the correct letters. You can make it more challenging by adding a time limit or a limited number of guesses.
  4. Word Association Game: Send a word to the group and ask them to respond with a word that's associated with it. For example, if you send the word "dog", someone might respond with "bone".
  5. Guess the Number: Think of a number between 1 and 100 and ask the group to guess it. After each guess, give a hint, such as "too high" or "too low".
  6. Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of items or challenges that people can complete and send you proof of completion. For example, "Take a photo of something blue" or "Send a screenshot of your favorite song".
  7. Storytelling: Start telling a story and then stop at a cliffhanger. Ask the group to continue the story in their own words, and then share their responses.
  8. Trivia: Create a quiz with trivia questions on a specific topic, such as history, sports, or pop culture.
  9. Mad Libs: Create a story with missing words and ask the group to fill them in with a specific type of word (e.g. noun, adjective, verb). Then, share the completed story.
  10. Chain Reaction: Start with a word or phrase and ask each person to send a word or phrase that starts with the last letter of the previous response. For example, if you start with "cat", the next person might send "turtle" because turtle starts with the letter "t".

These games are designed to be fun and engaging, while also helping to break the ice and get to know each other better.
