Ice Breakers

[cookieluvsjesus]

Im leading a small young adults group and I was wondering if anyone knew of good ice breakers or games to get the group more comfortable around one another. So far we have played Bible pictionary and toilet paper and m&m game. Tomorrow we are going to try a frozen t-shirt contest (the winner gets a $10 gas gift card). Im out of ideas after tomorrow, any one have any good ideas??????????

There's one where you take a list of facts around and you have to find so many people that conform to those facts. Each person has a copy of the list and everyone is given about 5-10 minutes to go around and ask one another if they conform to any of the things on the list. If they do, they sign the person's list by that fact.

For example, something like:

Find 2 people who have never had a cavity

Find 1 person who has been to Hawaii

Find 1 person who loves coffee

It's kind of fun and eventually everyone ends up talking to each other. Also, you could look up some ideas on www.residentassistant.com, it has ice breakers for RAs at dorms, but you could probably use the ideas for your small group. Some of them are really fun

We always played Taboo. You have to get the other person to say the secret word without using a list of clues that had common descriptions. You'd be amazed at the ways people could described stuff.

or play the... Two Truths and a Lie game. everyone has to come up with two true facts about themselves and one lie... and the big group needs to guess which is the lie. This is cool because some folks have had crazy stuff go on in their lives!
