How Do You Miro? Icebreaker Challenge 🧊

hi, can we post more than 1 idea?

Great icebreaker, I am already thinking of how I can use it in my workshops. The reward chest is brilliant @Paul Buntman! You could also hide a link under the chest to a poem, or a funny gif or meme. Thanks for sharing this icebreaker!!

• This activity helps you to engage your group in several ways simultaneously. At first, everyone sees the list of participants with their names. Then, people start interacting with the board, which is needed in many collaborative meetings. After that everyone sees each other’s choices, and that gives a reason for jokes and other friendly interactions within the group. Rewards received after the questions provide additional positive feedback.

• 1. Setup
     Set the icebreaker area for each member of your group. Add their photos if you like.
  2. Characters
     Choose some popular characters relevant to your group. Popular superheroes are an obvious choice. Isn't it awesome to have dinner with Superman?
  3. Questions

     Ask questions about some regular actions. You can also ask something related to the topic of your meeting, workshop or brainstorming session.

     To answer the question, the participants have to drag the pictures of a chosen character to the corresponding area. Then players explain their choices.

  4. Rewards

     Hide icons with some cool things under the chest pictures. Icon Finder can help you there. Delete the chest or drag it away to reveal the prize.

     Alternatively, hide some compliments or nice wishes under an icon of the fortune cookie

• I hope you enjoy using my icebreaker template and I’ll be happy to get feedback from you!

• This icebreaker brings allows for unscripted conversations by asking attendees to grab something from their home related to a prompt. Here we go beyond the meeting screen, and allow attendees to share an item from their everyday lives. Often this allows people to share personal stories and let the group know them a little more. 

• Go into breakout rooms (if a large group). Follow the prompts on the sticky notes to grab an item from your home related to the prompt. Take screenshots of the items that spark the most conversations. When the icebreaker is done, bring everyone back together and have them share screenshots from the prompts or items that sparked the most interesting conversations.

Those prizes are fire!
