Paper Airplane Game
Everyone enjoys a game that uses their hands! Share a stack of paper get people to write an interesting pact about themselves on the sheet of paper. Then fold the paper into an airplane and throw it across the room. Every person will pick up one airplane each and try and find who the plane and fun fact belongs to. This game will have people up out of their chairs and making something fun!
A Common Thing Game
Icebreakers are a great way to get to know people. A common thing game lets you do exactly that! Create a list with everyone’s name on it. Spend an allocated time getting people to find out something they have in common with each person on that list. This game is a great way to find out about others. Imagine learning that there are others who love the same sports you do or have the same bird-watching obsession as you!
Emoji Charades
Play the classic game of charades but with emojis instead! This is a modern game with the array of emoji that are available on our phones. One person will be responsible for trying to communicate a charade topic but by using emojis instead. This is a fun way to get people guessing, laughing, and surprised at what others might be trying to say!
Speed Conversations
This game will allow people to meet each other and quickly too! Like speed dating, each person finds someone else to pair themselves with. They will get a brief amount of time to talk with them about a nominated conversation topic. For example, the topic might be “holidays”. Then, like speed dating, they switch to another person and another topic. This is a genuine ice breaker that will literally break the ice between people attending. It will make it easier to engage with the event knowing that they’ve been able to have light conversations with those around them.
