Icebreaker Activity
Are You More Like……?
Directions: Instruct group members to assemble, standing, in the center of the room. Explain that this is a forced choice activity that will require them to move to one side of the room or the other. Then explain that you are going to ask them if they are more like one thing or another, and as you identify each thing you will point to the side of the room for that thing. Participants are to move to the side of the room identified as the thing they are more like.
Once there, participants are to discuss among themselves what made them choose that side of the room. Before bringing the group back together, ask a member from each side to summarize the primary reasons identified by participants for selecting that side of the room.
Note: you will need to remind participants several times that they are not to choose where to stand based on what they LIKE more, but based on what they feel they are MORE like.
