We have little time to run ice breakers that lead to mundane or detached outcomes. I would suggest that an ice breaker has to cover all or most of the points that Paul listed in his article. What is good about this style is as soon as learners enter the room, you can welcome them and put them at ease as well. what a great way to start a session, leads nicely in to objectives as well.

Now it seems that the trainers are coming around to the real value of their “ice-breakers.” Brenda As long time drama teacher/coach I have always been interested in the fact that adult trainers have taken their ice breakers which we, drama teachers, traditionally and originally created under the name of “warm-ups” to tie into a specific drama experience or lesson for that day, so that it gets the participants hooked and curious; but never used as a time filler to play games.

It has given me some ideas as to how I can improve my effectiveness in the first couple of minutes of class. What you have here is what I call Jump Stating the brain in to learning mode by positively affecting the social and emotional aspect of the learning environment. Thanks, Humberto Paul
