Icebreaker Games for Church Groups

When bringing a group of strangers together, icebreaker games are helpful in getting everyone relaxed so they can enjoy their time together.

But even with a group already familiar with each other, icebreakers are useful for injecting positive energy and getting everyone ready for the meeting. This is especially important if you are facilitating learning, since people are most receptive and learn best when they feel comfortable with those around them.
Here are some of our favorite icebreaker games. Regardless of your group size, profile of participants and purpose of meeting, we believe you will find something that suits your needs!
