Icebreakers are quick and fun activities that you should use at the start of a workshop or a meeting to warm-up participants.
Yes, we know, icebreakers can be sometimes awkward at the beginning but they're proven to enhance relationships and boost creativity. Icebreakers set the tone for workshops and help participants understand how a facilitated session actually works. And that's why you should always have a few icebreaker activities ready to go in your facilitation toolkit.
In this video, Facilitation Coach at AJ&Smart Rebecca Courtney, walks you through how to run our 3 Top favorite icebreakers.

Just found out about this video in time for my own workshop I'm gonna facilitate.
Thanks for the fun ice breaker ideas!
I'm wondering how many icebreakers should you do in one workhop? And how long should you take for it?
And should I think about an icebreaker that fits the subject of the workshop or can I choose every option?

[@AJSmart]

Thanks for your questions! We normally run one icebreaker at the beginning of the workshop. However, you could also use an icebreaker or energizer after a long break to bring the mood and energy levels back up.
The length depends on the time you have for the entire workshop. But we usually plan for around 5-10 minutes to facilitate the icebreaker.
The icebreaker doesn't necessarily have to be related to the topic of the workshop, but it should match the type of group you're working with and the level of energy you want to achieve. However, we sometimes do use icebreakers to help explain some basic workshopping principles or how to use the tools (when it's an online workshop).
Hope this is helpful. Cheers.
