Ice Breakers and Team Building Exercises

Gregory P. Smith, MS

Get Your Meetings Off to a Great Start!

I have been a professional speaker, consultant, and trainer for over ten years. In the hundreds of classes I have taught, I learned one simple truth -- people learn quicker if you make classes and meetings fun and interesting.

As a result, I have compiled my favorite exercises and techniques into a 70-page book. It is cram-packed with innovative ideas and exercises to make your meetings, classes, and workshops come alive and make you a HERO with your group.

Make Your Teambuilding Events Fun!

One of my favorite teambuilding games is the "Terrorist Toxic Explosive Situation." This is a easy to perform exercise for both adults or teenagers. The goal is to decontaminate a can of "toxic" popcorn that has been secretly placed in the room by terrorists. Your team has to quickly come up with a plan of action, assemble tools and equipment, transfer the material into a "safe" container before the "toxic" substance explodes. A great game to identify the "planners," "doers," and "thinkers," in your group. It also demonstrates the importance of having a good plan. Comes with a debriefing questionnaire to help people understand what went right and what went wrong. A million laughs!
