  • Airplane Name Game

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    After everyone puts their name on a piece of paper, each person makes a plane out of the paper and flies it into the middle of the group. Then each person chooses a plane and finds out all about the person who made it. 

  • Alka-Seltzer Duel

    January 14, 2010

    icebreaker

    You may play this game as a quick up-front game or even as a 4-person tournament. 2 contestants, each armed with a squirt gun, will take five paces and turn to duel. On each of their foreheads, you will have attached an Alka-seltzer tablet with double stick tape (possibly use big rubber bands if tape doesn’t work). They draw and shoot the water at each other, the first one to dissolve the tablet on the other's forehead wins. Use swim goggles for each to protect their eyes. The tablet will fizz and foam all over the place.

    Have towels close by for clean-up. A cheesy western song (think Clint Eastwood or Lone Ranger) and some “cowboys” or “cowgirls” add to this one.

  • Animal Trivial

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    Give each person a copy of the following on a piece of paper and a pen. Give them a certain amount of time (three minutes or so) to find a different person for each of the “animal trivialities” listed. When they find a person, have them place their initials in the blank. If possible, try not to use an individual more than once.

    Animal Trivialities:

  • Autographs

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    For this activity, you need ten non-permanent, washable ink pens. Have five guys each remove one shoe and one sock. They have three minutes to collect as many female signatures as possible on the soles of their feet. You might want to limit each girl to signing the foot of only three guys. 

  • Balloon Bag Volleyball

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    Materials needed are a trash bag and a few balloons. Set up a volleyball net and form teams, but instead of using a volleyball you use the trash bag filled with balloons. Seal the end of the bag with duct tape. Basic volleyball rules apply except that a person may hit the ball up to 6 times per side, and they can’t use their hands or arms. They only use their head and feet. 

  • Balloon Bust

    January 30, 2010

    icebreaker

    Divide into two groups.

    Form two lines. 

    Each person gets a balloon that's inflated. 

    The first person in each line is given instructions on what to do with their balloon (ex: dribble balloon to wall and back, kick ballon, balance baloon on foot, etc.). 

    Once they have completed the task, they return to their starting point at the front of the line and sit on their balloon until it pops.  Only after it pops can the second person in line begin the assigned task that was given. 

    Again, after they've completed the task, they return to their place in the line, and sit on their balloon until it pops. 

    The first team to pop all its balloons, wins.

  • Balloon Sitting

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    This game requires lots of inflated balloons. The object of the game is to see who can break more balloons in a given time by sitting on them. Make the last one a water balloon. 

  • Balloon Stuff in Sweats

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    For this activity you need balloons (not inflated), two oversized pairs of sweat pants, two oversized sweatshirts and one needle. Break into two teams. Each team has two minutes to inflate and pass the balloons to a teammate who is wearing the oversized sweat pants and sweatshirt. This person stuffs the balloons into the oversized sweats. When the two minutes is up, a leader counts the balloons by popping them with a needle (carefully!) while the person is still “wearing” them. The team who is wearing the most balloons wins. 

  • Balls Under Boxes

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    There is quite a bit of setup to make this work right, but it is really funny. Place a couple of tables or card tables beside each other (leaving 8 inches between them) and cover with table cloths that hang down to the floor. Overlap the table clothes together leaving just enough space for someone’s head to come up between the two tables. Place four boxes on the table and ask one person to kneel on the ground between the two tables (now slightly spread apart) with their head above table level under one box. Put different kinds of balls under the other three boxes.

  • Banana Eating Contest

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    Choose four contestants and tell them that the object of the game is to eat as many bananas as they can in one minute. They will be competing against each other and the clock. But to add more of a challenge, blindfold each contestant. Once the contest begins, remove 3 of the blindfolds. This leaves one person still blindfolded eating bananas as fast as they can. Have everyone cheer this person on to victory!
