A Training Ice breaker

Here’s a training ice breaker you may not have come across. This is suitable for any type of training or meeting where attendees or delegates don’t know each other and you want to lighten the atmosphere.

You will need a supply of post-it notes, small postcards or A5 sheets of paper.

Ask all delegates to take 1.

On it, they write 2 things.
Firstly, the answer to the question
“I have come today to this session because…”

and secondly, an amazing, unique or odd fact about themselves. (If they can’t think of anything, it’s OK to write what they dreamt about last night)

Put all the papers into a bag and delegates take out one (hopefully not their own)

Allow 5-10 minutes for delegates to find the person who has pulled out their paper.

Hopefully, this will lighten the mood, and encourage people to mix.

You can also ask people to write how far they travelled to the session and give a small prize to whoever has travelled the furthest/shortest and/or used environmentally friendly means of transport.
