🥶 The best icebreakers - and why they fail (plus my alternatives)

You’re looking for an activity to kick off your meeting, workshop or training, but you’re tired of the same old icebreaker activities you’ve seen on every list?

You’re in the right place! 😊

I believe that most #icebreaker activities are not effective for most groups.

So, in this first post of my #FixMyIcebreaker series, I will explain why they don't work and provide alternative activities that work so much better (including facilitator tips).

If you’re looking for fresh and new activities, check out my full post here: https://www.jankeck.com/best-icebreakers-alternatives-1/

In today's post, I am fixing:

· Fun Facts 🤪

· Two Truths & One Lie 🤥

· Never Have I Ever 🙅‍♂️

And here are some comments the first few readers have left already:

"I've bookmarked your article!"

"💡I had a great “aha” moment with his analysis of “Two Truths and One Lie.” I have used this one in the past, but he made me rethink it, and I’m taking it out of my repertoire."

"Great ideas! I like how you can adapt Show Yourself to the session content by changing the questions."

If you like this type of content, let me know what other icebreaker activities I should fix next 👇
