Warm Up Your Crowd with Ice Breakers

Ice breakers are little activities and games designed to help people get to know and feel comfortable around one another. Some are silly, others are a little embarrassing, and others are merely informative in a light-hearted way. If chosen correctly, ice breakers can be a very powerful tool that facilitates the success of your group, meeting or party.

In choosing an ice breaker for your party you need to think about the personality of your group and its ultimate purpose.

Are people trying to network for business? Then you want an ice breaker that gives them a chance to showcase their business services.

Is it a baby shower? In that case you are uniting guests who are strangers to one another, but close to the mother-to-be. You want an ice breaker that makes everyone feel relaxed, but gives the spotlight to the pregnant mother in a kind way.

If you're hosting a family reunion, distant family members may be meeting for the first time in twenty years, and know little about one another except that they share a common ancestor.

So you need to use ice breakers that will quickly build familial intimacy.

Is it a group of volunteers that need to work cooperatively on a project? You need to find ice breakers that will help people feel united in their common undertaking.

Here a just a few ideas for ice breakers that I've seen work effectively.
