“Alright, everybody go around the room and introduce yourself.”
“Please tell us a little about yourself – how many kids you have, your husband’s name, and how long you’ve been attending First Baptist Church.”
I’m always on the look-out for a fresh icebreaker to add to my toolbox.
This Either/Or Icebreaker game is quick, easy, and great for all sizes of groups.
According to the research reported in Barna Trends 2017 (affiliate link) 1 in 5 adults regularly or often feels lonely (pg 112).
And when “nearly half of women (43%) say they do not feel any emotional support at all from church” (pg 153) we can assume that loneliness is a church problem too!
Modeled after the popular icebreaker “Who here?” this summer version allows your group to bond over favorite summer activities and foods.
I recently reorganized the Icebreakers & Games page which lists all of my icebreaker games by holidays, theme, or season.
That simple task brought to light my small supply of summer icebreaker games.
Last week I shared a brand new, created just-for-you, icebreaker called “What’s on ur phone?“.
I thought it would be fun to come up with a Christmas version too!
Back in the day there was an icebreaker game called “What’s in your purse?” It was a fun game but it no longer works at most women’s ministry events.
Have you noticed? A lot of your women aren’t carrying purses anymore.
Summer is quickly drawing to a close…
As we launch new Bible studies, small groups, Sunday School classes, and fall women’s ministry events, it can be fun to take a few moments to reflect on the things we did this summer.
Perfect for fall or anytime of year, this original High School Memories Bingo game is the perfect icebreaker for your women’s ministry fellowship, Bible study kick-off, or small group.
How we spend our day says a lot about who we are.
While we may not be able to spend the day with every member of our women’s ministry team, small group, or Bible study, we can use this game to get a glimpse of what a typical day in their life looks like.
I was brainstorming recently with a friend about ways she could break the ice with her new team at work. Her team is quite small. I knew the 4 C’s icebreaker game would be a great one for her to use!
She was also looking for a fun way to find out what kinds of things each member of her team likes.
Have you got a women’s ministry fall fellowship scheduled?
Maybe you’re looking for something to break the ice with your new Bible study group.
Have you ever sat at a table with a group of people and felt the conversation at the table stall after you all got past the normal niceties? (What do you do? How many kids do you have?)
Movie Nights make for a great Ladies Night Out event. They can also be a great, non-threatening outreach opportunity.
Today, I’m going to share step by step tips on how to host a marvelous movie night.
My favorite icebreaker games give participants a chance to discover new things about each other.
The “Who here?” Icebreaker gives everyone a chance to bond instantly over shared likes/dislikes.
I recently returned from a women’s ministry retreat with another church. This icebreaker is one that was shared during our time together.
Tired of the same old Christmas carol games?
Need a last minute Christmas Icebreaker?
Then this Christmas version of the “If” game is for you!
You may have had the chance to play one of my three versions of Roll & Poll. (If not – they are lots of fun! Be sure to check them out!)
Today I’ve got a fourth version for you – Christmas Roll & Poll!
During a Women’s Ministry event, do you ever look around the room and notice a lack of conversation?
Are women stuck in the same groups of familiar faces?
“Meet Your Match” gently draws women out of their regular circle of friends by encouraging them to uncover matching experiences and interests with others in the room.
Have you ever made a “heart to heart” connection? You know, when you meet someone and you instantly bond over usually trivial things.
This Valentine Icebreaker, Heart to Heart, helps to make those connections between the people in your group.
