Icebreakers
Time Machine
- Ask the following question, to one participant at a time: “If you were able to travel through time, either forward or backward…
Where would you go? If backward, to which time period, and why?
If there was a person you could go back in time and meet, who would it be, and why?
Would you just want to visit and come back, or would you stay?
Lost on a Deserted Island
- If you were stuck on a deserted island, name one person, book, or item that you would bring, and why.
Speed Friending
- Each person has a few minutes to chat and get to know someone else before being moved to the next person.
The Interview
- Split into teams of two and interview each other. At the end of the interview, each person comes up with 3 interesting facts about the person they just interviewed and share with the class.
