What Is A Good Icebreaker For A Meeting?

What other icebreakers do you use in your workshops? Also what was your first job? And what did you learn from it? 😉

My favorite icebreaker exercise is First Job Guess: People write on the sticker their first job and put it in a hat (or an anonymous sticker creation in Mural/MIRO). After that each person pull out a sticker and try to guess who is it. Always fun and usually very hard to guess.

Love this! ❤️ I’ve actually used this with my Design Team. It was very helpful to get people relaxed before the session.

Used this today during a Design THinking workshop - was not only bounding, buuuut also interesting to hear that info. And easier for me to remember the names.

Quick, easy and fun! All the right ingredients to a great icebreaker!

Also, Round robin sessions are super great as a ice breaker

That’s fabulous! Such a good, quick icebreaker!
FYI: I kissed the Blarney Stone when I was 12! My Mum paid 😂

My favorite ice breaker when they just hired a new manager. Before the manager enters the meeting room pass around the small 1"x2" post-it. Everyone takes off two sheets and sticks one to your top lip and one to the bottom lip and you then look like a duck. When the new boss walks in everyone looks up and says "Welcome! Quack! Quack!"

That pretty girl who says her name is Tom and her first job was working at a nightclub toilet selling rubbers. she learnt how to deal with sh!t like people judging her and that she needed to learn how to walk in high heels better because the floor was super slippery... That's her name and first job story. Let's see how well that goes 🤔

Let me question something do you know where you will go after you die? If not let me say you can have a choice to either go to hell or heaven see 2000 years ago there was this man named Jesus who died on the cross for our sins and rose alive 3 days later all because he truly loved us he died for us so I question you now do you truly believe in Jesus or do you live for the world turn to Jesus Christ trust in him Christ has way much more to give than the world he loves us turn to Christ
