Listed below are good for when activities submitted and improved by users around the world. Icebreakers are most commonly used during the first stages of team development (e.g., at the introductory class) or preceding a group process (e.g., to start off each team meeting). They can also be helpful whenever group energy is first forminglow and people need re-energizing, or when members join the group. Icebreakers work best when they are fun and engaging and they draw out information or qualities of the participants that may not be obvious (e.g. talents, attitudes, or previous experiences). Learning more about each other while laughing can help people relax and get a sense of their commonalities or appreciate their differences. You might also be interested in [[Icebreakers for Online Team Building]]. ---- * To add your own activities to Teampedia please see [[How to Add a Page]].
