Icebreakers help a group of strangers get to know each other and encourage participation in group discussion.

As an icebreaker you could:

• Go around the group and ask each person to introduce themselves by saying:
  • Their name
  • What year they are in
  • What course they are studying and
  • What they hope to do when they finish their course.

• Go around the group and ask each person to introduce the person on their left. To do this, each person will need to ask:
  • The person’s name
  • What year they are in
  • What course they are studying and
  • What they hope to do when they finish their course.

• Go around the group and ask each person to complete the following sentence:
  The highlight of my time at UQ has been ………………………………. because …………………………………..
  
  
  Tips:
  • Don’t forget to introduce yourself too!
  • For the first couple of weeks, provide sticky labels for everyone to write their first name on.
