Meeting Ice Breakers - Getting to know you...Meeting ice breakers that can help in the process of getting to know each other always go over well. Without doing the old stand up and tell me your name - where you from - etc. I just hate those. Well here is an ice breaker that helps with that process. This can only be done with meetings or training events that are held in advance. Prior to the leadership management training event - you should have as part of the sign up process - a question that asks for personal bits of information about the participant. If the leadership management training event is one day long - ask for one piece of information. If it is two days - ask for two - and so on if there is three or more. It also helps if you ask for specific information versus leaving it up to them. As an example of some... ...what was the city and state/ and or country where you were born ...what is your favorite hobby ...what is your favorite book and or author ...what is your favorite sports team ...what was the name of the high school you graduated from Meeting Ice Breakers - Preparation Once you get all the information back from everyone - and prior to the class beginning - take and put each one on a separate piece of paper without identifying who the person is. Make sure you keep track of what piece of information is whose or you will be lost. And embarrassed. On the day of the event have all these pieces of information on the walls around the room. You either can do the next step right away or wait a little bit into the day. I would wait if no one knows each other at all until they can become familiar with each others names. Meeting Ice Breakers - Ask them who they think the information belongs to When you are ready - take one of the cards at a time and ask who the information matches up to. At some point ask the person to reveal themselves. You can do this several times or go through all of them if it is a small group. Each day of the event reveal another piece of information. Meeting Ice Breakers - Slight variation... If it is a larger group - you can have them get up and go around writing who they think the information belongs to on the card or piece of paper itself. Then you can take the card after everyone is done and do the same thing but read all the different names that appeared on the card first. All leadership management training events should have an ice breaker in them that helps to loosen the group up a little - and helps them to get to know each other a little. Thank you!
