Description<\/strong>
\nThis icebreaker is appropriate during the Olympics or for special sports events.<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong>
\nOn small slips of paper write down the names of numerous athletes. (Best if they are the more prominent athletes from the Olympic Games or the more famous athletes from a variety of sports.)<\/p>\n

What to do<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tape the names of Olympic athletes to the back of students as they arrive.<\/li>\n
  2. The task of the students is to discover which Olympic athlete’s name is pinned on their backs by asking only “yes” or “no” questions.<\/li>\n
  3. This continues until everyone arrives and has learned the name of the famous Olympic athlete on his\/her back.<\/li>\n
  4. Then go around the group and ask each youth their name, favorite Olympic sport, and other information you might like to know.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
