Icebreakers for Introverts 2.0 Template

—

In case the original has run its course, here are new colors, new illustrations, and, best of all, new questions!

For some people, just mentioning the word "icebreaker" triggers cold sweats. So what do we do when we know icebreaker or warm-up activities are key to getting the "room" energized and ready to share?

These activities are designed to be completed independently, allowing participants to feel comfortable and to take their time reading the questions and coming up with answers.

To use the template, select from the suggested activities based on your audience and the types of Miro tools you expect them to use during your meeting or session. Use as many or as few as time permits. Then, depending on the comfort level of participants, do an independent or guided gallery walk, where participants can choose to elaborate on their boards.

Sources: Questions and ideas were sourced all over the place, but many from https://www.mtu.edu/student-leadership/student-orgs/rso-resources/virtual-resources/fun-icebreaking-questions.pdf. Many illustrations were licensed from Adobe Stock, with some edits.
