«Story Time»

Most icebreakers are predictable. Participants share the same basic information that very few remember a day later. With this icebreaker you can shake things up a bit with some prompting help.

How it works

• Have participants work in groups of three.
• Have each participant pick a card at random.
• Have participants introduce themselves one at a time.
• They should start with their name (some things are still important even if shaking things up).
• Then share the saying on their card to the group. The group has five minutes to react and discuss the motto: what it means to them, how it applies to their work, etc.
• Each round lasts five minutes, then the next participant continues with their name and card.

Tips, tricks & more

• The participant limit with this activity is based on the number of cards in the set. With more participants, you will need a second set of cards.
• There are no set questions for participants to use; the idea is just to share what comes to mind. The questions above are just examples.
