Icebreakers - Interesting Introductions




Icebreakers are used to introduce people in a cluster who are new to each other and are expected to interact meaningfully. It is also used when a cluster needs to loosen - up before engaging in an exertion.





This Icebreaker is called Interesting Introductions.





Preparation: Make out slips with accepted nouns comparable: chair, lion, peacock, kukri, telephone etc. Polished should be one slip for each ration of the grade. District this slips and put them in a bowl.





Process: Invite the assemblage to stand in a circle. Occupation the bowl of folded slips to the participants and sweat them to pick up one each. Impart them not to read what ' s in the slip until further guide. Once each of them has picked a slip, acquiesce them to open it and inspect what ' s written on it. They are not to speak it out aloud.





Their occupation is to introduce themselves by proper name and find similarities between themselves and the average noun written on the slip of paper. They have to let out these similarities with the rest of the coterie. For instance, if someone is called ' Jay Lord ' and has picked the slip with ' dirk ' written on it, his introduction will be: ' I am Jay Lord. I am such a poniard being I am sharp and I can cut down loads of information to find the motif indiscernible it it. '





The pastime is played until everyone has introduced itself in this routine. The concept is for the participant to find an attribute in the everyday noun which highlights a categorical discriminating in himself / herself. Dissension characteristics are unacceptable.





The game should take half - an - hour to play with a group of 35 - 40.
