"Greg Smith recently trained me on the DISC profile. He is a dynamic and charismatic trainer and facilitator. Greg is excellent at establishing clear directions and explaining why we're doing what we're doing. He communicated the information in a clear and easy manner for me to learn and comprehend the material. He was also very patient and flexible with his time. Greg has a very warm and gracious spirit and is exceptionally helpful. Immediately following Greg’s training I felt fully prepared and ready to tackle my first DISC facilitation assignment. I strongly recommend Greg to anyone who needs a trainer/motivator with a positive attitude and wonderful teaching style."

Ice Breakers & Team Building Exercises

By

 

Gregory P. Smith, MS

Speaker, Consultant and Trainer

 

Start Your Meetings Moving in the Right Direction!

 

How many meetings have you been to that are just the same old thing -- boring gatherings you can't wait to leave!  Here is an opportunity to make your next meeting, class, or team building event something special.

 

My name is Greg Smith. I have been a professional speaker, consultant, and trainer for over twenty years. In the hundreds of classes I have taught, I have learned one simple truth -- people learn quicker if you make classes and meetings fun and interesting.

As a result, I have compiled my favorite exercises and techniques into a 77-page book. It is cram-packed with innovative ideas and exercises to make your meetings, classes, and workshops come alive and make you a HERO with your team.

Author of

 Icebreakers and Teambuilding Exercises

 

Over 64 Icebreakers and Teambuilding Activities

  • Make your classes and meetings fun! 

  • Make your meetings productive, motivating and exciting!

  • Improve communication

  • Foster creativity and innovation

  • Build strong team building skills

  • Enhance cohesiveness

  • Recognize everyone's unique talent and abilities

  • Sharpen problem-solving skills

  • Save yourself time!

Make Your Team Building Sessions Fun!

 

Included in this book is my favorite teambuilding game called the "Terrorist Toxic Explosive Situation." This is an easy to perform exercise for both adults or teens. The goal is to decontaminate a can of "toxic" popcorn that has been secretly placed in the room by terrorists. Your team must quickly come up with a plan of action, assemble tools and equipment, transfer the material into a "safe" container before the "toxic" substance explodes. This is a great game to identify the "planners, doers, and thinkers," in your group. It also demonstrates the importance of having a good plan. It comes with instructions, a list of materials, and a debriefing questionnai re to help your team understand what went right and what went wrong. Expect a million laughs!

 

"Torpedo Weapons Loading Exercise" is another very popular activity. This is a timed exercise where individuals are placed on two teams to design and construct a device to safely catch a torpedo (egg) from an elevated tripod. The team must design, construct, and complete the mission in a specific time frame. We provide you the list of materials needed, the solution, and the instructions the team must follow to complete the task.

 

These are just two of the 64 teambuilding activities and exercises you will get from the book. There are 7 different sections within this book. All the exercises are appropriate for any age group.

 

Section 1 - Quick and Easy Team Icebreakers
 

This section contains twenty-seven different ice breakers to help you keep your meetings and teams energized.  Most of these activities are simple and easy to do and do not take much time. "Toilet Paper Tango" is a fun exercise to use to for short introductions and to lighten the atmosphere at the start of a difficult or intense kind of meeting. 


Section 2 - Creative Team Brainstorming Activities

 

In this section you can choose from several different brainstorming exercises designed to help people think creatively. We provide you several different techniques to get people to go beyond normal brainstorming.

 

Section 3 - Communication Exercises

 

Do you need a few exercises to get people to communicate with each other? These three exercises are guaranteed to get people talking to each other and they will have fun to boot.


Section 4. Team Problem Solving Techniques

 

This is a great section for teachers and facilitators looking for new ways to get groups of people to work together to solve problems. The picture is a group of people using an "Affinity Diagram." Many different techniques are provided including the "Gordon/Little Group Technique" and "Osborn's Brainstorming" to name a few.

 

Section 5 - Team Building Exercises
 

This section contains several in depth, stimulating exercises designed to get groups of people working together.  Not only do you get the "Terrorist Toxic Explosive Situation" and the "Torpedo Weapons Loading Exercise," you also get several other exercises that are fun and challenging. Exercises vary in length from 15-45 minutes.
 

Section 6 - Teambuilding Case Studies
 

This section includes five case studies to help your team sharpen their problem-solving and analytical skills. I have used "Heartbreak Hotel" to train people to focus on leadership skills and problems with customer service.

 

Section 7 - Funny Stories
 

Here are several funny stories and comical antidotes to spice up your training programs. They also make great openers or closers for speeches, classes, or training events.

  • Business meetings

  • Corporate team building

  • Leadership training

  • Church groups

  • Retreats

  • Sorority get-togethers
