IceBreaker Philosophy

Why Icebreakers?

Icebreakers play an important role of transitions from the “meet and greet” to the Pillar activities of Life Groups. They can create an opportunity to integrate and connect one another into a group environment, and are a valuable tool in teaching by stimulating participation. Icebreakers are a resourceful momentum builder for the discussions ahead of the group.

Helpful rules concerning Icebreakers:

  • If something is not working move quickly on to the next activity.

  • Timing is important. Don’t flog the icebreaker to death.

  • Use only one icebreaker as a 15 minute introduction to your Life Group.

  • Choose icebreakers appropriate for you Life Group.

  • No group is the same and your understanding of what and will not work with you group is crucial.
