Icebreaker Ideas

The benefits of icebreakers far outweigh any negatives. They can take care of introductions in a much more fun way than just simply going around the room, saying their name and degree. They can make people remember names easier & help start conversations. When done right, icebreakers can quickly build a sense of community, set the tone for the upcoming session.

  • Line Up: In the short group challenge, participants must organise themselves in a line according to a certain criteria (like height, age or where you were born and distance from here) without speaking. The activity promotes non-verbal communication and teamwork. Simpler versions of the activity can be used in early stages of group development while more complex versions can be used to challenge more established groups.
  • Have you ever (stand up if): Prior to the workshop the facilitator prepares a list of questions which can only be answered with yes or no. These questions should begin with “Have you ever…?” or “Stand up if…”. The facilitator reads out the questions or statements one by one. For each statement the participants stand up if they could answer the statement with yes. The questions should be designed to not be discriminatory, intimidating or insulting. Possible topics can be countries visited, meals, games or sports tried, movies seen, did you have a gap year etc.

Academic Mentor

Academic Mentors help to promote a healthy balance between academic effort and other college activities. Academic Mentors have the support of a Senior Academic Mentor to coordinate the efforts of the team and guide the individual AMs in their individual activities and contributions, which together, support the Head of College to implement the UNE policies and procedures in place to promote the academic achievements of the residents.
