#3 Adjectives
This icebreaker needs a little preparation on the part of the delegates. Ask each person to bring (but not wear) a favourite item such as a T shirt, a tie or a piece of jewellery. At the beginning of the session, ask people to work in pairs and explain to their partner what the item says about them. Each delegate then introduces his/her partner using three adjectives only.
Example: "This is Fiona. Like her brooch, she's stylish, modern and very sparkly!"
#4 Truth and Lies
This icebreaker is based on the old TV series "Call My Bluff". Each person has 5 minutes to write down three interesting facts about herself. Two of the facts are true, one is not.
The person then introduces herself to the group, making the introduction as interesting as possible, and attempting to convince the others that everything she says is true. It's up to the group to decide which fact is the bluff.
Example: "Hi, I'm Jill. I speak French fluently, I hold six medals for tap dancing and I once stood in for the lead singer in Evita"
This is a good icebreaker to use when people are strangers to one another, but it can also be used with groups of colleagues, where the fun lies in trying to fool people who think they know you.
