Classic TRU Icebreakers

Famous people

Give each of the participants a note card. Each person must secretly write down

the name of a famous person and then tape their card, with the name showing, to

the back of another participant. Players must then circulate the room and ask

ONLY yes or no questions to find clues that will help them identify the famous

person on the card on their back.

Contrary

This activity is similar to the Balance of Power activity (Miscellaneous Section).

Have participants pair up and face each other. Let them decide who will lead first.

The leader will make movements and their partner must do the opposite of what

the leader does. If the leader moves their right hand, their partner must move

their left. If the leader sits down their partner must stand. After a few minutes

have them switch. Discuss how much more difficult it is to work against

somebody than with somebody. Reflect this to a team perspective and how a

team should work.

Silly Sam & Inquiring Ida

Ask each participant to choose an adjective that begins with the first letter of their

first name and one that really matches their personality. Have them introduce

themselves to each other with this new name and challenge the participants to

learn and remember the adjectives/names. Variation: Have participants stand in

a circle. Each person introduces themselves ¨C as they say their name they have

to make a movement for each syllable. The next person must introduce

themselves and all of the people that have gone before them with names and

motions

Screamer

Have your group stand or sit in a circle (for a large group you might want to break

them into two groups). Tell them to put their heads down. When you say ¡°Heads

Up¡± everybody looks up at the same time. If two people are looking at each other,

they scream and step out of the circle. Everybody then tightens up the circle and

repeat the steps until you only have a two people left.
