It can be nice to tailor classes and challenges for your students, perhaps based on a theme, the time of year, or an in-joke.
This is a template I designed, for an in-person ice-breaker game. This is an ice-breaker with a Valentine’s theme. Bear in mind that this is a simple ice-breaker, and not designed to encourage romance!
The game is loosely based on something you may have played before, called “Two Truths and a Lie”, and it’s called ‘FIND THE TRUTH’!
This ice-breaker will also act for team-bonding, and psychological safety, as team members will feel closer as they learn more about each other.
Suggested method of facilitation:
- Give each participant a printed sheet, and ask them to think of one thing they LOVE, and three things they don’t love. Encourage them to think of totally different categories.
- I like to start of by showing an example, like the one below …. (can you ‘Find the Truth'”?)
- After each participant has filled in the form, let them take turns. Others must guess what they think the one “Truth” is (A, B, C or D) before each answer is revealed!
- Time permitting, encourage some chat after each ’round’ (i.e. natural talk, like “I can’t believe you don’t like oysters”).
Have fun!
