ICEBREAKER
ACTIVITIES
Icebreakers can be an excellent resource in classroom and group settings. Icebreakers help
students to learn more about one another and find commonalities. Students can then start to feel more comfortable in the classroom or group environment. Icebreakers encourage cooperation and teamwork as well as a break from cliques. Students can hone their active listening and social skills. Icebreakers also serve as a fun segue into class lessons, discussion, and activities.
Below are some icebreaker activities that I found useful. Feel free to click on the links below the
