Meetings can be awkward and it\’s difficult to get delegates to be at ease? It can sometimes be difficult to break the ice and get the conversation flowing. 

Icebreakers are a great way to get everyone engaged and comfortable with each other, especially for new acquaintances. In this blog post, we\’ll be sharing 10 great icebreaker ideas for small groups that are sure to spark some lively conversation.

1. Two Truths and a Lie 

   This classic icebreaker never fails to bring laughter and intrigue to a group. Participants take turns telling two true statements about themselves and one false one, while others guess which statement is the lie.

2. Name Game 

   Participants take turns saying their name and something they like that starts with the same letter as their name. For example, \”My name is Alice and I like apples.\”

3. Desert Island 

   Participants imagine they are stranded on a deserted island and must choose three items to bring with them. This game encourages creativity and critical thinking.

4. Would You Rather? 

   Participants take turns asking each other would you rather questions, such as \”Would you rather be able to fly or be invisible?\” This game is a fun way to get to know each other\’s preferences and personalities.

5. One-Word Story 

   Participants take turns adding one word to a story, creating a unique and often hilarious narrative.

6. This or That 

   Participants take turns choosing between two options presented by the facilitator, such as \”chocolate or vanilla?\” This game can reveal interesting preferences and create lively debates.

7. Who Am I? 

   Participants write the name of a famous person or character on a piece of paper and tape it to someone else\’s forehead without them seeing it. The person then asks yes or no questions to figure out who they are.

8. Speed Networking 

   Similar to speed dating, participants rotate around the room and have a set amount of time to introduce themselves and share something interesting about themselves with each person.

9. Memory Lane 

   Participants take turns sharing a favorite childhood memory or significant life event. This game can create a sense of nostalgia and allow participants to connect on a deeper level.
