Three Dots Icebreaker Submitted by: Winona Bullis Director of Field Training-Specialty Brands, Focus Brands
Objective
Effective icebreakers enhance cooperation, foster teamwork, and help to put people at ease. The best icebreakers are also quick, easy, and fun!
A simple icebreaker activity that can be used in any setting with any group of people.
How it Works
The dots in this icebreaker are pieces of information that participants share about themselves. When participants find they have something in common with each other, it helps them to feel more connected, included, and comfortable in the group, and opens avenues of communication and shared experiences. This is how the activity rolls out: I share 3 dots about myself with the group, and then someone who connects with one of my dots shares it and adds two more dots about themselves. The next person can connect with any of the previously shared dots. For Example:
I like to SCUBA dive.
I also love Mexican food.
I have 2 kids.
I am a Marine Veteran.
I also have 2 kids.
Person 2
I love Mexican food.
Person 1
Red is my favorite color.

Person 3

I like to garden.
I have also lived in Nashville.
I have a dog.
Person 4
