Icebreakers
We've got a pretty wide
definition of icebreakers. Traditionally,
the term has been used to refer to the "getting
to know you" activities that often used to open
or close meetings, classes, or workshops.
However, as we'll detail in
our upcoming article titled Turning Icebreakers
Into Content-Related Activities, icebreakers can
often be modified to present instructional
content. Used this way, they're not much
different from instructional games and active learning
activities.
We've read quite a few books
on icebreakers, games, active learning, and the
like. Below, you'll find our favorite techniques
from our favorite books on these topics.
