Icebreaker Description<\/strong>

Preparation<\/strong>
\nNone<\/p>\n

Icebreaker Activity<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Let each person write four statements about them selves on the index card. (They can be in any order, but three must be true, and one must be false.) People should be encouraged to make the false statement sound plausible to make it more fun. The false statement can also be something true about someone else in the group in order to mislead the group about the author’s identity.<\/li>\n
  2. The cards are then distributed randomly to the participants.<\/li>\n
  3. As each person receives a card they read the statements out to the group. The group tries to decide which statement is false and the identity of the person who wrote it.<\/li>\n
  4. Once they guess the correct person, the next person reads his or her card until all cards are completed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
