These are some favorite "small group icebreakers for meetings" to help teams and groups get into a relaxed and open frame of mind for discussing important issues. Each of these icebreakers has proven successful many times over so they are guaranteed to work. Pick and choose or try them all. This is a great tool for leaders, consultants, and facilitators.

Ask people in advance to bring a memento of their favorite team. When the meeting starts, ask people to 1) describe the significance of the item they brought and 2) describe why this was their favorite team. (It’s valuable to flip chart their responses – you’ll get a good set of data to use in constructing norms for high-performing teams.) We still remember the woman who brought her three-foot-tall bowling trophy.
