get people comfortable in a group before meeting the team can be the best investment of ten to 15 minutes of the time that can be carried out. Ice breakers to get the creative juices flowing, it can increase the exchange of ideas and establish a team identity, and create a sense of community. All these elements important in the formation of higher productivity of teams. But how do you get people to participate and not feel uncomfortable with the ice-breaker?
for meetings in a business setting in which participants are professionals and ice breakers that require action not usually associated with the behaviors day after day in the office generally make people uncomfortable. Successful ice breakers consist of this type of groups generally having attendance information exchange memorable with each other, and create innovative ways to get people to introduce themselves to each other, or to be members work collectively set the problem where everyone has to contribute.
We chose our top ten ice breakers group meeting which is sure to get involved in the private meeting, relaxed, and ready to focus on the agenda as well as to connect with others in the group.
(1). Brainstorm: to break the meeting into teams of four or five. Give each team on the subject. Choose topics that are fun and simple like, "Why do you take a trip to the desert?" Or "things that are purple List." Give your team two minutes, no more, and tell them, "This is the competition and the team with the most items on their list wins." Encourage teams to write many things as much as you can, and not to discuss anything, just a list of things as soon as possible. At the end of two minutes, the team with the most items on their list wins! This helps people to share ideas without fear of what others think.
(2). The same or different:
The meeting was divided into teams of three or four and give each group a large sheet of paper and then give each person a different colored marker. Ask each person to draw a large oval so that each oval overlaps with the other ovals in the center of a piece of paper. Granting the group or groups, a topic that belong to the objectives of the meeting. Ask participants to write down at least five or more entries in the non-overlapping areas and interlocking each other ovals their own. Give them five minutes, no more, to talk about the similarities and differences between them and write them in the form of its own oval on the paper. If there is more than one group, and compare the results and identify common threads in both parts of the charts and the light of these similarities and differences shed on the purpose of the meeting. This helps the team members to develop a common understanding of goals and non-confrontational way learn how their views differ from others in the group.
(3). Fact or Fiction:
ask everyone writing three surprising things about themselves, two of which are true, and one of them made up. Each person, in turn, their list and then read the rest of the group to vote on any "fact" they feel is a "false" one. If the group did not show a person choose the "truth" is made up properly, then that person wins. The team can be more than one winner. In the end, the votes are all on any of the "winners" in the final round of the group, was "the fact that" the most deceiving. This helps people to get to know and remember their colleagues.
(4). Free Association:
The aim of this ice breaker is to get small groups generate as many words or phrases as they can be associated with a particular subject that focuses on the objective of the meeting. Granting the group or groups keyword you want them to associate and then give them two minutes to list as soon as possible, as many of the words or thoughts that pop into their heads. For example, if your company is trying to make a decision on whether to reduce travel and increase the use of teleconferencing, you may use the word "conferences" and you have a list of people many words or phrases that can be linked with a keyword. For example you might say: "saves money", "save time", "impersonal", "need to see other people," "distract", "sound quality" .... It shows what people think, the similarity of views look, maybe even problem areas or issues that need to be addressed or further discussion.
(5). Name tags:
prepare name tags for each person and put them in a box. As people walk into the room, everyone chooses a nametag (not private). When everyone else is present, and told the participants to find the person whose nametag they drew and provide and say a few interesting things about themselves. When everyone have their own insignia, each person in the group presents the person who was given to them in the beginning, I remember nothing of interest about this person nametag. This helps the participants to get to know and remember each other.
(6). Desert Islands:
people group in teams of five or six, and tell them they will be stranded on a desert island. Give them 30 seconds to list all the things that you think you should take and everyone has to contribute at least three elements. At the end of 30 seconds, and we tell the difference, which could only take three things. The person who proposed each item in the list to tell what was proposed and defend why they should be of the three-item and one that has been chosen. This helps the team learn about how each one of them to think, to learn about the values of each other, and how they solve problems.
(7). Commonalities Plus:
group, participants in the private meeting at the tables. Ask each table of the group to the list of ten ways that everyone in this group is similar. Let them know that you can not body parts or clothing are listed and this is what they have chosen can not be anything to do the work. One person at the table should be mandated to make their list. At the end of the deadline to have share-based group with all members of the meeting. This is a great opportunity to attend to learn more about each other's hobbies special meeting, families, and common interests.
(8). Line up:
and enter your meeting people hand each one a piece of paper with a different number written on it. Ask the group to arrange themselves in numerical order without the use of their voices, hands, or show their numbers. This helps the team to think of other ways to communicate with each other and work together to achieve a common goal.
9. meet and greet Pile shoes:
This works great in large groups which is a variation of the ice breaker brand name. I ask everyone to take off one of their shoes and throw it in a pile. Ask each member of the group pick up the shoes and walk around the room meeting greet others as they try to match the shoes specific to one other member of the team is wearing. This is a great new way for people to meet several members of the group.
(10). For the first time, or worse:
Have each member of the group say the first or the worst job in return. This easy to use to break the deadlock works great with extremely conferences and allows team members to spark a conversation with each other and have some fun commenting on the work they have done for each other's chances. We have many of the top ten ice-breakers can be used for meetings and conferences in the site alike. The nature of the ice breakers is to get the group to talk, to share, and get to know each other in a casual exchange. Best and most successful teams start with a little bit of fun. Learn how to value what each member brings to the group. Ice breakers can help facilitate this exchange of information and comfort to do so at the very beginning of the process of forging a team.
