New supervisory training ice breakers

Here are some new supervisory training ice breaker ideas:

  1. The Human Bingo Game: Create bingo cards with different traits, characteristics, or interests (e.g. "has traveled to another country", "speaks more than one language", etc.). Each participant needs to find someone who fits each of the characteristics and get them to sign the corresponding square.
  2. 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. This game helps to build trust and encourages participants to share a bit about themselves.
  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 John and I love jogging"). Then, ask each participant to repeat the names and facts of the others.
  4. Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of items or challenges that participants need to complete around the training room or building (e.g. "find someone wearing the same color shirt as you", "take a photo with a team member who has the same birthday as you", etc.). This game encourages teamwork and collaboration.
  5. Word Association Game: Have each participant write down a word on a piece of paper, fold it up, and pass it to the person on their right. Then, each participant takes a turn saying a word that is associated with the word they received. This game helps to build communication and creative thinking skills.
  6. The Human Knot: Have each participant stand in a circle and put their hands in the center. Each participant should grab the hand of someone across from them, not next to them. Then, they need to work together to untangle themselves without letting go of each other's hands. This game encourages teamwork and problem-solving.
  7. Superhero Origin Story: Ask each participant to come up with a superhero origin story, including their superhero name, powers, and mission. This game encourages creativity and helps participants to think outside the box.
  8. The Five Whys: Have each participant introduce themselves and share a challenge or problem they are currently facing in their role. Then, ask each participant to answer the question "why" five times, with each subsequent answer building on the previous one. This game encourages critical thinking and problem-solving.
  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. This game encourages networking and communication skills.
  10. The One-Word Game: Ask each participant to come up with a word that describes themselves, such as "adventurous" or "creative". Then, have each participant explain why they chose that word. This game encourages self-reflection and helps participants to get to know each other better.

Remember to keep the ice breakers fun and engaging, and make sure they are relevant to the goals and objectives of your supervisory training program.
