An ice breaker game is a great way to help people connect and engage no matter where they are.
These days, there's less opportunity to bond through a quick chat around the water cooler, at the Christmas party, or in the school canteen.
Therefore, you may know the practical stuff such as what time people log on, their favorite zoom background, or how good they are in their role. But do you know what motivates them?
Whether you're working in the same room or thousands of miles away, it's still crucial that teams get to know each other as people. Creating and maintaining these relationships helps build trust, makes it easier to work together, and generates a happy working environment.
You can build exciting and engaging ice breaker games that everyone plays together as part of a virtual or in-person team event.
People can learn surprising facts about their team, class, or co-workers that can spark conversation, debate, and even friendships.
To start, find out more about your team to help you build the questions for the ice breaker game.
To gather insights, ask your team some fun, entertaining, educational, or obscure questions.
For example:
