Creative Ice Breaker Games & Activities

Creative ice breaker games get participants to think outside the box and use their imaginations to come up with original ideas. These activities can include:

• Storytelling and weaving tales as a team
• Charades and acting out prompts
• Drawing concepts on whiteboards

They’re great for lightening the mood and getting people to open up. They can also improve virtual collaboration and encourage team building.

As a result, creative ice breakers often work well before brainstorming meetings and during team video conferencing. With Livestorm, you can host polls, live chat, and whiteboard activities during virtual events and meetings.

Two Truths and a Lie is a popular ice breaker because it allows people to introduce themselves in a creative way. Here’s how it works:

Participants share three statements, and everyone else guesses which is the lie. It’s one of the easiest virtual games to host, and it helps teams get to know each other better.

To get your team to work together, try Storytelling Relay. The facilitator starts the story, and everyone else takes turns to include their own twist by adding a sentence to the narrative.

This creative ice breaker requires listening skills and respect for each individual’s contributions. Since it relies on creative collaboration, it also supports teamwork.
