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 ? 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.
