Icebreakers: Around the World Themed

This past weekend was Hanefesh Fall Convention, it was around the world themed, plus I really like post-its.

Length of program: 10 Minutes

Overview / Summary of Program:

The purpose of this program is to put people into groups for the skits activity. Each

person will have to guess what his or her card says and then organize themselves by

the continent the card is associated with.

                                   

Supplies Needed:

Index cards (each card will have a word that is associated with a specific continent),

tape

Step-by-Step instructions (be specific):

1. Give out the cards, one per a person. Have them tape it on either their forehead

or back without looking at the word written on the card.

2. Have people walk around and ask other people yes or no questions about the

word that is written on their card.

3. Once each person has guessed the word on their card, have everyone get into

groups based upon which continent their word is associated with.

Special Notes to make the program successful:

Make sure people don’t start cheating! Also make sure that the tape can stick to skin.
