of rows is ideal.
Is It Someone's First Day?
The next time we have someone new, instead of
just going around the room stating our names, how
about we try a notable name-game icebreaker? The
game is to come up with a positive adjective that starts
with the same letter as your first (or last) name. You can say, for instance: ambitious Alyssa or,
big-hearted Barb. Let's give this icebreaker a try now.
(Begin icebreaker with yourself and then proceed around the room.)
Why Are You Here?
Even our group may become sidetracked from the reason we are all here. Icebreakers can be a great way to show we are all here for the same reasons. Let's use a thought-provoking icebreaker to remind everyone of this. Each of us will state why we came to the group in the first place. Also mention one thing you want to learn. For example, you might say: "I came here because I am ready to put myself and my health first, and I want to learn ways I can stay active throughout the week." Let's all try this icebreaker now.
(Begin icebreaker with yourself and then proceed around the room.)
We Want You Back
We all want to see our new members return, and getting them involved in the next meeting will increase that chance. Let's try a follow-up icebreaker to invite them back. I will ask all members to bring an item that represents their weight-loss journey, or a goal they wish to achieve, to the next meeting. At that meeting, each of us will talk about what we brought and why. For example, you might bring a mirror because you want to see a healthier reflection.
Wrap-Up
I hope you enjoyed using our icebreakers today! Going forward, let's have these tools ready whenever we have a new member, feel we need to bond more as a group, or want to remember that we all have the same goal in mind--weight loss and getting healthy.
