Quick ice breakers

Here are some quick ice breaker ideas:

Fun and Lighthearted

  1. "Two Truths and a Lie": Each person shares two true statements and one false statement about themselves. 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.). Each person needs to find someone who fits each of the characteristics and get them to sign the corresponding square.
  3. "The Name Game": Have each person introduce themselves and share a unique fact about themselves that starts with the same letter as their name (e.g. "I'm Sarah and I love sailing").
  4. "Would You Rather": Present two silly options (e.g. "would you rather have a pet dragon or be able to fly") and ask each person which one they prefer.

Thought-Provoking

  1. "If I Could...": Ask each person to share something they would like to do if they had the chance (e.g. "if I could travel anywhere in the world, I would go to Japan").
  2. "What's the Best Advice You've Ever Received?": Ask each person to share a piece of advice that has stuck with them.
  3. "What's Something You're Looking Forward to in the Next Year?": Ask each person to share something they're excited about or looking forward to.
  4. "What's One Thing You're Proud Of?": Ask each person to share something they're proud of accomplishing or achieving.

Creative

  1. "Draw Your Favorite Hobby": Ask each person to draw a quick sketch of their favorite hobby or activity.
  2. "If You Were an Animal...": Ask each person to imagine they are an animal and describe what they would be and why.
  3. "Create a Meme": Ask each person to come up with a funny meme or caption related to the group or topic.
  4. "Write a Haiku": Ask each person to write a quick haiku poem on a topic of their choice.

Remember, the goal of ice breakers is to help people feel comfortable and build connections with each other. Keep it light, fun, and engaging!
