Fun 5-minute Icebreaker for the 1st Day of Class

Here is an icebreaker I like to use on the first day of class. It is super easy to do and students really enjoy it as a way to get to know fun facts about each other. I call it Fact or Fiction. Enjoy!

Fact or Fiction
This is a great icebreaker for a group that doesn’t know each other. You will need index cards and pens or pencils. Each person gets an index card and is to write four things about themselves. One item needs to be fiction while the other three are fact> Instruct the participants to write them down in no particular order. The more outrageous the better.

Everyone turns their cards in and the trainer takes each card in turn and reads the four items about the person aloud. The group can discuss each item. The group then votes on which item they believe is fiction.

This game helps everyone get to know everyone else and lets them have a chance to be creative and sneaky. You'll get some laughs and get to know who the creative people are in your group as well!
