Ice Breakers and Team Building
Exercises
By
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!

Report on "How to Increase Job Satisfaction: So Your
Workforce is Happier and More Productive" -- Good leaders create a clear sense of direction and
purpose. They do so by creating an alignment between the individual and
the organization. It isn’t easy; in fact, it takes plenty of energy and
emotion to help people see how their contributions make a difference. But clear purpose and direction—clear alignment—is a
powerful strategy in today’s changing workforce.

"I want to thank you for your book
Ice Breakers and Teambuilding Exercises. I used two of
your exercises at a recent meeting. The Toilet Paper
Tango was perfect! It was a great way to begin our
meeting and helped set a positive tone for the rest of
the two-day session.
The second day of our meeting I used The Paper and
Communication Exercise to drive home the point of
effective communication. It really helped the group
understand the importance of seeking clarity and how to
explain things in a clear fashion.
I have led many meetings in my career and always seem to
be frantically searching for exactly the right exercise.
This book took all that anxiety away and made for not
only some great fun, but some meaningful exchanges with
our participants. Again, thank you so much for sharing
this incredibly valuable book with me."

This exceptional book
is chock full of exciting and entertaining group
building and meeting start-up exercises. I am
enjoying the wide range of ‘tried and true’
activities. The instructions are clearly given, and
they vary regarding the amount of time required. In
addition, Greg offers stimulating variations for
some of the exercises to focus on specific needs.
As a business leader, this is a ‘must have’ resource
for your library!
