3 of the Best Ice Breakers for a Team Bonding Session

Looking for ways to break the ice?! Whether you have a whole new team or new employees joining – these are 3 of the Best Ice Breakers for a team Bonding Session. Maybe a group of employees are returning from work elsewhere and a new team has been formed? Maybe you have just started a new company and no one knows anyone at all yet! Get the ball rolling. Start the conversation!

Year of the Coin

Hand out a coin to each person and ask people to share something they were doing the year the coin was made. Were they listening to Kings of Leon on the way to college? Where they getting their braces removed? Or living in another Country? Find out!

This is a great way for people to get to know a thing or two about the team they are working with! It is one of the easiest and best ice breakers for a team bonding session! It’s also a great little team building idea to kick start a meeting and change things up.

Would You Rather

Everyone knows this game! Play it at your next Team Bonding Session, team building activity or as way to start a meeting. Anyway, take turns going around the room asking each person a “Would You Rather” question. Here are a few examples:

“Would you rather own a mansion or have the ability to talk to animals?”

“Would you rather be able to fly or be able to read minds?”

“Or Would you rather hold one giant spider or several small spiders?”

The list goes on! Maybe write down some creative ‘Would you Rather’ questions to pull out of a hat. This might take the pressure off people having to invent them on the spot! Ask your team to come prepared with a few to toss in!

Two truths and one lie

If you have a group of new employees starting today, this game is fantastic! Get existing staff to get to know new team members by playing this ice-breaking game.

Gather everyone at lunch and invite them to play. Ask everyone to come up with two things that are true about themselves and one thing that is a lie. Then ask people to share their three facts.

“I have 2 sisters, one of which works here in the company”

“I’ve met Beyonce at a Mac store”

“I have 6 cats”

Can you guess which one isn’t true?! Everyone has to try to guess the right answer. This leads to lively anecdotes about life experiences and memories!

These Ice breakers are a great way to have some laughs and relive the tension of starting something new! Why not try taking the team out of the office so that they can get to know each other in a new context. Check out our list of Water Based Activities! Why not start of this new phase with a splash!?
