Ice Breaker Activities - guess the question

Length

As long or as short as you want to make it, this usually takes a two - 3 minutes per person

You will need

Some prepared cards with questions on such as

• where were you born?
• how many brothers do you have?
• which subject did your favourite teacher teach at school?
• how long have you worked for your company?
• where did you have your last holiday?
• what's the name of the person you sit opposite?
• what was the name of your first pet?
• what is your favourite food?
• what is your pet hate?
• what did you do last night?
• what colour socks are you wearing?
• what did you have for breakfast?
• who is your favourite sports person?
• if there is one person you would like to meet who would that be?
• what's your favourite part of the day?
• what's your favourite meal?
• what's your favourite flower?

Just keep questions away from anything which could be deemed to be contentious like politics or religion.

TIP - when preparing the questions, the answer to the question must be short ideally one word.

Instructions

This is a very simple training game or icebreaker activity.

When everyone does an opening round of introductions, distribute a card to everyone.

Tell them not to show their card to anyone.

Ask everyone to introduce themselves by

• name ( if you do not know each other
• department
• giving the answer to the question on their card.

The group must then decide what the question is based on the answer.
