ICE-BREAKER ACTIVITIES - That Make the Difference for Your Meeting

Good Ice-Breaker activities can make all the difference. Whether it is to introduce the day’s subject matter, to create teams, to energize the beginning of an event, to integrate an event theme, or to facilitate discussions amongst the participants. Ice-Breakers are important because they add emotional value to a meeting or presentation, whether in person or virtual. They facilitate an interpersonal connection amongst participants and increase their participation throughout the meeting or event to follow.

The first thing to do is to choose the outcome that you want to achieve. What would you like your Ice-Breaker activity(ies) to accomplish?

• Bring together like-minded people together?

• Get to know one another?

• Bring together people from different backgrounds and cultures?

• Bring together people at different levels of organization?

• Introduce a subject or theme for an event?

• Bring together delegates and speakers (“Why should I listen to you?”)

Storytelling and meeting games are surprising ways to kick off a conference. Ice breaking sessions can be a wonderful way to help people get to know each other, introduce a theme or set the tone for your event or meeting.
