Icebreaker Workshop Activities

When does perseverance become foolhardiness? Here's a jolt that explores this question.

This meeting starter is great because it lets people self-define,  gives them a “personality” outside the typical work environment. Additionally,it gives participants quick snapshots of multiple players (since they see many cards as they’re being passed around), and it creates memorable visuals that give people conversation pieces as the meeting progresses.

A rapid game of name learning with probably a lot of funny moments. Besides it teaches particiapants how to communicate and strategize in an effective way without being  explicit about these goals.

The object of this game is to introduce event participants to each other by co-creating a mural-sized, visual network of their connections.

This activity can serve multiple purposes. It can be used as an energiser or ice breaker for groups that a bit low on energy or first meet each other. Another purpose of the game could be enhance teamwork and show that different people with different beats can make an orchestra.

This exercise can be used as a warm-up for project and other planning processes. It can also be used in team building.

Open your workshop / session / meeting with a visual check-in that enables people to be there as who they are and what's on their mind:

• Every participant selects a picture representing how they are
• Take turns sharing how this cards represents them/their mood/situation

A focused meditation to become present and aware. We accept our feelings, leaving behind what we doesn't serve us right now. A ideal way to open a workshop or team meeting.

How well do you know your colleagues? Encourage your co-workers to share an interesting fact or story about themselves while flexing their artistic and creative skills!
