Modeled after the popular icebreaker “Who here?” this summer version allows your group to bond over favorite summer activities and foods.
“You’ve been stung by a jellyfish? How bad did it hurt?”
“I love to make homemade ice cream too! What flavor do you make?”
Summer Icebreaker: Who here?
Group size: 8 or more
Time needed: 10-15 minutes
Supplies: List of questions (below), microphone
Instructions:
Say: I’d love to know how you’re spending your summer! We’re going to play a quick game that will allow us to find out who has been enjoying some specific summer activities and food. If you can answer “yes” to the question I read you’ll need to stand up. If your answer to the question is “no” then stay seated. You can remain standing between questions if you’d like.
Read at least 15 of the questions below, giving everyone a chance to respond. Pause between questions to give participants a chance to see “who here” answered yes. Part of the fun (and purpose) is to discover new things about each other!
Notes:
Those who have mobility issues can raise their hands.
If your group is primarily young and can move easily, you could use this activity to burn off extra energy by having them sit back down after each question is read.
Be sure to read through the questions and delete those that may not pertain to your audience. But don’t assume there are things on the list that no one in your group has done – you may just be surprised!
