You may be familiar with the phrase “first impressions count.” Ice breakers are often the first opportunity for learners to see you in action. But what happens when an ice breaker fizzles? That abysmal first impression can deflate your confidence and often sets the tone for the rest of the learning experience.

Ice breakers can be an effective way to warm up the audience, start getting people engaged with each other, and perhaps have a little fun. However, a well-designed ice breaker should serve a greater purpose than just getting participants talking.
