Two Truths and a Lie is a classic icebreaker, perfect for getting to know new colleagues.
Each individual shares three pieces of information about themselves—two facts and one lie. The rest of the group has to guess which one is the lie. This game gets everyone talking and sharing interesting tidbits about themselves. The first person to get a bingo wins! This icebreaker is best played in smaller groups, as it involves revealing personal experiences.
Each person takes turns stating something they have never done, and anyone who has done it must take a sip of their drink. This game can lead to some hilarious and unexpected revelations. The team imagines they are stranded on a deserted island and must choose only three items to have with them. Each person can bring one book, luxury item, and music album — which items will they choose?
This game can lead to some deep and interesting conversations. Have everyone stand in a circle, and the first person says their name and then a personal item or hobby that starts with the same letter e. The next person has to repeat what the first person said and add their own. This game continues around the circle until it returns to the first person. Try these icebreakers for adults that get people out of their seats and mingling for more active activities.
