Hosting a group for TDay. Groups of 30+ adults coming in who have little in common- some are married, some have kids, some are neither married or do not have kids. Very different occupational fields. Need a fun game like Cards Against Humanity, something fun. |
5 second rule game is a such a fun game and unlike Cards Against Humanity, won't offend some people. |
We love Quiplash |
Don't do Cards Against Humanity with people that don't know each other.
My family loves the game "Taboo." |
Introvert chiming in. Do you really feel you must do an ice breaker? |
Mafia or Hide the Sassage |
Strip poker |
+1 People will strike up conversations naturally over food. Or just stick to the group they came with. Whatever. Offer games but not everyone will play. You don't need to keep that tight of a rein on people. They are adults. They've been to a party before and know what to do. |
Is just called small talk. Learn the art of it and you'll never be without a friend |
Trying to play a game with 30 people sounds super challenging. Buy fun wine charms or quirky cocktail napkins and people can kick off conversations by showing each other what they got. |
I'm an introvert and I would LOVE this option. It gives structure to conversations so I don't have to stress over small talk. Those who don't want to play can choose not to. Those who do will have the option. |
Hide the Sausage??! ![]() |
Ask people where they grew up and get offended when people mistake it from "Where are you really from?" |
Have the men hold a toilet paper roll between their legs and the women hold a toilet brush between theirs and see who can connect! |
I teach adult learners and one of the things we do is have everyone tell a fun fact about themselves or where they came from. It’s super-interesting to hear some of the responses (from some people having been an extra on a movie set to just simple facts like, “I speak three languages”). Most of the responses are basic, but when someone says, “I went to the University of Alabama…” there is always someone else who has a connection to that. It’s a great way to get to know people. |
