  • Do You Love Your Neighbor?

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    Place all the chairs in a circle before the session begins. One person starts in the middle of the circle. That person goes up to someone and says “(name), do you love your neighbor?” If the person being asked the question answers “NO”, then the people on either side of them have to switch seats with each other. While these two people are trying to switch seats, the person in the middle asking the question has to try to get in one of their seats as well. Note that the person who answered “NO” stays still while all this is going on around them.

  • Honey, If You Love Me...

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    Make a team of guys and girls and have one of the groups say to the other, “Honey, if you love me, would you please, please smile.” If the person smiles, then it is a point for the team that made them smile. If they don’t smile, then it is a point for their team. Allow them either 2 or 3 tries to make them smile. Teams could consist of 4 or 5 members and only one member goes at a time. 

  • House of Cards

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    Provide your Huddle members with a deck of playing cards or note cards. Tell them they must create a card house with at least two levels to it. (They will soon discover the difficulty in establishing the foundation level, not to mention the upper level.)

    After some time has passed, use their experiences to emphasize the parable of The Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24-27). Compare the house built on sand to the card houses that kept falling down –– our lives without Christ as the builder. Then compare the card houses that did stand to those with the solid foundation of rock –– Christ as the careful and masterful builder of our lives. 

  • Human Knot

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

    Divide your group into circles of 10-12 people, each facing inward. Everyone then reaches across with one arm and grabs someone else’s hand, interweaving hands and arm in a random fashion. Do the same for the other hand. Next comes the challenge. Try to get everyone back into a perfect circle while still holding hands. Letting go is not an option. It takes communication, cooperation and a sense of humor. You will need to go through, under, over, etc. people’s arms until you are successful.

  • Non-Musical Chairs

    January 30, 2010

    icebreaker

     Materials:

    *A chair for all but one person.

    Make a circle with the chairs as if you were setting up a game of musical chairs, the person without a chair will start the game.

    Have everyone seated, the person in the middle of the circle will state a clothing item or physical characteristic, such as, but not limited to, green eyes or blue jeans. (The person in the middle must match the criteria they call)

    The persons with those characteristics, etc. will stand up and switch seats, since there won't be a chair for everyone since the person in the middle will need a seat, the last person standing is "it". The game goes on for any amount of time.

     

     

  • Oh Snap!

    February 10, 2010

    icebreaker

    There are no materials required for this game, just creativity and a good sense of fun! Oh Snap, or Catch the Snap, is a new take on the classic "pass the ball, say your name" game. Instead of a ball, you have...your hand! 

    What is this game? What do you do? 

    First, appoint a leader of this game.

    Make everyone scramble in the room, but make sure everyone's close to each other.

    The leader then begins snapping. He or she now has "The Snap" (the ball).

  • One Of A Kind

    March 10, 2009

    icebreaker

    Separate students into smaller groups of 4-8, preferably in a circle configuration. Call on mature student or adult leaders to facilitate each small group through this experience.

    Instruct each person in your group to think of one unique thing about him or herself that no else would know and write it on a piece of paper. Collect the papers and mix them up. Read each unique thing aloud and challenge students to guess who it is about. Continue until all the facts have been guessed.

  • People Bingo

    June 12, 2009

    icebreaker

  • Rock, Paper, Scissor Splits

    January 12, 2010

    icebreaker

    Can be used in a large or small group.

    Have everyone in your group pair off into twos.

    Make sure pairs are evenly spread out around the room.

    To start, each person needs to face their partner and place their left foot behind their right foot, 3-5 inches apart.

    Then at the same time all groups play rock-paper-scissors. The winner of each pair has to say one fact about him/herself. The loser of the pair takes one step back with his/her left foot. Their right foot does NOT move.

    During the next round the winner still says a fact about him/herself. If the winner lost the previous round, he/she has a chance to move his/her left foot forward a step. The loser still moves one step back with his/her left foot.
