40 ICEBREAKERS FOR SMALL GROUPS
FROM GRAHAME
‘40 Icebreakers for Small Groups’ is a FREE eBook compiled from several articles posted on my blog Insight. These posts continue to be popular, so I thought it might be helpful to put them together in a FREE resource for you to download. In addition, I’ve added several new ‘bonus’ icebreakers which don’t appear in the articles! These 40 icebreakers are simple to use and suitable for a wide age range. They are great with a small youth group and can be used in a small space! They require very few props and can easily be used in a home without feeling a hurricane just came through This selection will encourage sharing, openness, listening, cooperation and discussion, providing a useful ‘getting to know you’ or ‘group building’ introduction for a small group study or teaching time. It's probably impossible to say who first thought up any of these icebreakers and games. Many are based on common party games and adapted through generations of youth leaders. Most came to me by word of mouth from friends and colleagues, or seeing them in action. If you find this eBook helpful may I invite you to SUBSCRIBE to Insight. You’ll be sent every article and resource direct to your RSS feed or email inbox. Your subscription is completely FREE and you can unsubscribe at any time.
