If you can’t take advantage of icebreakers for virtual meetings, don’t sweat it! Here are some icebreaker ideas you can do in-person. Just read this book to my grandchildren 8 years and 5 years and they absolutely loved it. They did not want me to stop reading and the hardest part was saying ‘more of it tomorrow’. Story encompasses so many facets of life that the children will encounter in certain degrees and it held their attention making them excited for more. If you’ve never played Codenames, this one’s a great starter icebreaker that’s super helpful if you want to boost creativity.

There was a catch. Half of the teams were asked to do a pre-scavenger hunt icebreaker together, and the other half were simply asked to read an article together. When people hear “meeting icebreaker,” they think of ”bonding exercises.” In this post I share 15 meeting icebreakers that are anti-boring and easy. Not all meetings nowadays are in-person. Some are virtual. These fun icebreakers can be performed anytime, anywhere, no matter the distance! Icebreaker #1: Show and Tell

Need Help?

GeoGuessr is a captivating global exploration game that virtually parachutes you into a random corner of the world, using a street view panorama. Your objective? To scour the surroundings for clues that might help pinpoint your exact location on the world map. Want to challenge your team’s senses and create some laughs along the way? “Guess the Item” is the perfect in-person icebreaker to mix things up. I love this game because it tests your team’s sense of touch and sparks curiosity.

We begin and the story was up and running. We are introduced to Lucy and learn about her family circumstances. Just her and her Mom since her Dad left. Lucy wakes up one morning and her Mom is gone; and not just her Mom but all the adults. The results were clear. The teams that did the icebreaker reported liking each other more. This is incredible! Icebreakers improved performance, time, AND likability. Once again, Tom manages to convey important messages in The Creakers. Celebrating difference is a key theme carried through from The Christmasaurus. The values of looking after the environment and living and working in harmony with those who aren't like us are emphasised, challenging readers to think about the world around them brilliantly. At a time when death has become an acceptable, even voguish subject in children's fiction, Natalie Babbitt comes through with a stylistic gem about living forever. The key is, you cannot share the same commonality with anyone else. If everyone in the room works at the same company, that commonality wouldn’t count. This is a way to get people exploring beyond what they already know about each other. Icebreaker #28: Lego Tower Challenge

Teaching about the latest events?

Dit boek in drie woorden: avontuur, monsters en familieboek. Het is zeker een groot avontuur, er komen veel monsters in voor (misschien verstandig om je kind dit niet alleen in bed te laten lezen), en het is ook echt wel een familieboek: heel leuk om samen te lezen. Het is wel en dik boek, 350 pagina’s, maar van elke pagina kan worden genoten! Het verhaal wordt goed opgebouwd en het lukt Lucy niet in een keer om de volwassenen te vinden en terug te halen. Dat vind ik zeer sterk aan dit boek. Vaak krijgen hoofdpersonen van kinderboeken het snel voor elkaar, maar Lucy moet echt moeite doen.
