Thanks Tanya! Your icebreaker also helps students to begin the bonding process with each other. Allow me to suggest another icebreaker for your discretion: Pair students up (partnerships of two) and ask them to visit with their partners for a few moments. Then have them turn back-to-back, think about a positive characteistic, trait, quality or feature, internally or externally, that impresses them about their partner, and then draw it on a piece of paper without using any letters, words or numbers. They can use symbols and draw as many pictures as they would like, but cannot yet show the picture to their partner. After a few moments, have students show their pictures to each other and guess what their partners are trying to describe about them. You can even take it a step further - have all students stand up, then ask those, in sequence, that have drawn obvious things such as hair, eyes, glasses, a smile, heart, etc. to sit down. Choose some of the more creative entries and have the students choose the entry they like the most. I have used this for years, both in the classroom and the corporate training environment, and it creates a lot of fun to get things started - it also proves that we tend to draw what we immediately see - the power of the fist impression.
