Congratulations, you've made it to the end of our epic list of icebreaker questions. Once you've gotten through all of these there really shouldn't be any ice between you left! Perhaps it's now time to try out some other team building activities. Icebreaker questions are used to begin an activity or meeting. They are used to introduce new people in an informal approach. They are normally more personal questions to learn more about one another. What are other good icebreaker type questions? Tips: If you want to use this icebreaker for your first small group, plan on spending most of the time answering the questions you have chosen from the list.

You could use this activity as the basis for a journal collage that people bring to the small group each week. These ideas have been tried by Chatterbooks group leaders in schools and libraries. There are lots of ice-breaker activities you can choose but these are all related to books and authors. Often children may not arrive all at the same time so it can be useful to have an activity going that everyone can join in with as they arrive. Description: Ask the group: “You’ve been exiled to a deserted island for a year. You are told you may take three things you want, apart from the essentials. What would you take and why?” It is also helpful to think about which icebreakers work best during different seasons in the life of the small group. In the beginning stages of a small group, it is helpful to do more get-to-know you games and questions so people feel known. As time progresses, changing up the icebreakers will bring new energy to the group. You can always ask your small group members what types of icebreakers they enjoy most as well and plan from there.Description: Ask everyone to spend five minutes running around their home to find objects that represent how they are currently feeling emotionally, spiritually and physically. Once the group has regathered, have each person share their three items. Let them decide how deep they will go. We’re so glad you’ve taken the step of faith to lead a group, and we hope these icebreakers will be helpful. Whether it is an engaging question, an innovative game, or a unique activity, the icebreaker you utilize in your small group will create lasting memories for the people you have been called to invest in. Let's face it, we’ve all played this when intoxicated at a college party and found it hilarious. We can only suggest keeping it PG when playing it in the office, but we’re sure it’ll bring the same humour to your work team as it did to your college parties. “Would you rather?” icebreaker questions are also the best way to find out people's preferences, values and likes. Nate is such a sweetheart, caring and tender, he was giving this ‘overprotective older brother’ vibe, but behind closed doors, he easily put machos like Christian Grey or Gideon Cross to shame. He blended the qualities of a good boy and a rogue together so well that I guarantee that every single girl’s expectations will grow exponentially after reading this. Grace truly created an amazing boyfriend MMC in Icebreaker.
