The plot, the writing and the characters as well are done excellently and the book reads swiftly and easily, and even people who don’t usually enjoy romances like I do, won’t be disappointed. If you are looking for a satisfying read with wholesome characters, great banter and 50 degree heat, Icebreaker should definitely have a place in your to-read list! But when Anastasia’s skating partner faces an uncertain future, she may have to look to Nate to take her shot… Managers at companies including the NYTimes, Google & Coca Cola use QuizBreaker as a fun way to bring their teams closer together. Great for: Any group. The longer the group has been meeting, the more honest the answers will be. If you use this with a group of people who do not know each other well, the answers may be short and surface-level. Persevere, and people will become more comfortable with each other.

These icebreakers are simple, yet effective, questions designed to encourage employees to get to know each other a little better. They involve everyone and can be used with new team members or for teams who know each other very well. Description: At the beginning of the meeting, ask participants to think of a new song they’ve heard recently and type it into the chat. After everyone has put a song in the chat, pull up an animated randomizer like the Wheel of Names and input the song titles. Spin the wheel and see which song the group will listen to. The host will then share their screen to play the chosen song. Feel free to mix and match the questions from different sections, this will keep your ice breaker sessions different and interesting.Fosters Connection. The question should highlight commonalities or introduce diverse perspectives in a manner that helps participants relate to one another. It is also helpful to think about which icebreakers work best during different seasons in the life of the small group. In the beginning stages of a small group, it is helpful to do more get-to-know you games and questions so people feel known. As time progresses, changing up the icebreakers will bring new energy to the group. You can always ask your small group members what types of icebreakers they enjoy most as well and plan from there. To be honest, after the first couple of chapters, I was worried that Anastasia won’t work for me as a heroine. The way she was cold-shouldering Nate made me think that she will be the kind of female lead who keeps her emotions bottled and never lets the hero close enough. Unnecessary drama and miscommunication is a pet peeve for me when it comes to romance novels and that’s why I have a love-hate relationship with this genre. However, their mutual dynamic and especially the hilarious banter and delicious sexual tension urged me to keep reading and I’m honestly so glad that I didn’t let my first impression fool me.

The one’s bound to get your creative juices flowing. Take a classic or a book that everyone has read and have everyone come up with what they think would happen in an epilogue. Have everyone share their ideas and then vote for what epilogue would be the most likely or the most satisfying! Casting Call Description: Buy a large bag of Starburst (or some other candy) and give each person the same amount (try 10). Start by stating something you’ve never done that you think everyone else has done. Tips: Like the M&M’s challenge, people will like this icebreaker because it involves candy. Bring more for people to eat during the study too. Plan on this icebreaker taking 20-30 minutes, depending on your group size. You can shorten it by not waiting until someone runs out of candy to stop. After posing a question, if someone is hesitant to answer, provide reassurance or share your own answer to the question first. This can make the environment feel safer for sharing. You might say, "I'll go first!" and set the tone for openness. Listen Actively and Respond Icebreakers are essential in creating an environment for everything else you want to do. They make it easier for people to begin getting to know each other. Someone new to your group might presume, for example, that everyone else already knows each other well, whether that is true or not.

So many books have been (or will be!) getting the movie/TV treatment (see: The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi or the Sweet Magnolia series by Sherryl Woods). Play casting director with your book club and come up with a dream cast for a recent read! You can do this one of two ways: have everyone cast all their characters and share or go around in the circle and have each person cast a character one by one. The second method is more challenging as you’ll have to take other people’s casting decisions into consideration. Two Read, One DNF If you knew you could not fail and money were no object, what would you like to do in the next five years? Below are virtual icebreaker game ideas that can help you and your small group get to know one another. The icebreaker ends when each person receives their original paper. Let everyone share their original sentence and the final sentence or picture. For example, you might say, “I’ve never had a birthday party,” or some other true statement about yourself that you think everyone else has surely done. Then everyone who has had a birthday party pays you one Starburst. You pay everyone who has not had a party.

Lighthearted icebreaker questions are all fun and games. However, when it’s time to get down to the business of team building, we’ve also got you covered. Try these work related ice breakers when trying to create a professional environment or when forming new teams.

Nate is such a sweetheart, caring and tender, he was giving this ‘overprotective older brother’ vibe, but behind closed doors, he easily put machos like Christian Grey or Gideon Cross to shame. He blended the qualities of a good boy and a rogue together so well that I guarantee that every single girl’s expectations will grow exponentially after reading this. Grace truly created an amazing boyfriend MMC in Icebreaker.
