Great icebreaker, fun and discover something

Ever wondered how to get a group of people to mix a bit more and have some fun - let alone learn something about each other?

This month's tip is a very simple exercise that works very well with a group of more than 4 people, up to any size you care to try. It works well as an ice breaker in teams that know each other, or don't!

Give each person a post it note and a pen. They must write two truths and one lie about themselves on the note, stick it onto their back and move around the room. As they go round the room they read other peoples notes and put a tick beside the one they think is a lie on the other persons note.

After a few minutes where everybody always end up laughing at some of the incredible things that get written, it's time to work out the winner. The winner is the one with the fewest ticks beside their lie, as their truths must have been the most preposterous.

See what you can find out about people you though you knew. If you have any questions about this, or any other of the monthly tips, don't hesitate to call or email me. Good luck getting to know people better,
