If introducing people to new teams on a training event
I’ve found this one quite fun as it gets people talking and the creative juices flowing! IN teams (8/9 people), get them to devise a team poster with the name of their team, 3 pledges for the course (i.e. I will value my fellow member’s ideas etc..). It needs to be as colourful as possible, if you designate team colours this can also help in deciding the name of the team (i.e Passionate Purples, Red Arrows..). On the poster include a photo or drawing of each team member as well as their name, job, location, something unusual about me etc.. Give them 15 minutes to design and create and then they have to present their fellow team members to the rest of the delegates. Good luck!

Get a map of the UK, or Europe etc if necessary, plus some sticky coloured stars.
Ask participants to stick their star on their birthplace/home town, and to say 3 things about living there.

Visit adulted.about.com.
A search on icebreakers will give you many links to sites offering freebies.
Searches on ‘energisers’ and ‘quizzes’ gives good results too.
Something a little different…

There are many books of such stuff around, unfortunately mostly devised since 1970 so the chance are your groups will have at least one who has “done it before”, kinda spoils the effect. For something really original and re-usable go to mta-international.com and talk to Martin Thompson after you have viewed his site. Give him my regards.
