Ice Breaker in meetings

Ice breaker plays a significant role in meeting and helps to break down the barriers. An effective ice breaker will warm up the meeting conversation, reinforce the topic of the session, and make participants enjoy meeting each other.

Most of participants would like to start up their meeting with laughter and appreciate to do sharing in a comfortable environment. Hereby, I share some funny question of ice breakers from website and hope you can get some elicitation from them.
 

1. If your workplace was a tree, what kind of a tree would it be and why?

2. If you woke up tomorrow as an animal, what animal would you choose to be and why?

3. If you could live anywhere on this planet, and take everything that you love with you, where would you choose to live? Tell the group about your choice.

4. If you were to change your name, what would you change your name to? Why?

5. Are you spring, summer, fall, or winter? Please share why.

6. What's your favorite material object that you already own?

7. What item, that you don't have already, would you most like to own?

8. If you were to create a slogan for your life, what would it be? (Example: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow, we all die.)

The icebreakers engage participants at the beginning of conversation and ensure they stay in the comfort zone. If you make your participants uncomfortable, then your icebreakers for meetings will fail. Try to get to know you icebreakers for meetings. Once ice breakers break the ice, discussion flows comfortably.
