Top 3 ICEBREAKERS For Meetings And Workshops

Icebreakers are quick and fun activities that you should use at the start of a workshop or a meeting to warm-up participants.

Yes, we know, icebreakers can be sometimes awkward at the beginning but they're proven to enhance relationships and boost creativity. Icebreakers set the tone for workshops and help participants understand how a facilitated session actually works. And that's why you should always have a few icebreaker activities ready to go in your facilitation toolkit.

In this video, Facilitation Coach at AJ&Smart Rebecca Courtney, walks you through how to run our 3 Top favorite icebreakers.

I tested today the Your first job and learning, then we asked the senior leader in the Groupe to guess who had written, that was a big success and everyone loved it ( as we got to nice discoveries, also unexpected )

Just found out about this video in time for my own workshop I'm gonna facilitate.
Thanks for the fun ice breaker ideas!
I'm wondering how many icebreakers should you do in one workhop? And how long should you take for it?
And should I think about an icebreaker that fits the subject of the workshop or can I choose every option?
