Icebreaker: A Cold Wind Blows


Time Required: 5-15 minutes
Materials: None

  1. Have team members form a circle, with one person standing in the middle. Each team member standing on the outside of the circle needs something to mark his or her place. Shoes work well as place markers. If there are seven team members, there should be six sets of shoes on the outside. If there are six team members, there should be five sets of shoes.
  2. The team member in the center says, “A cold wind blows for anyone who __________.” They fill in the blank with something that is true about them (is left handed, went to the beach this summer, is an only child, loves painting, enjoys skiing, etc.)
  3. If the statement is true for them, team members must move into the center of the circle and then quickly move back out and try to find a pair of shoes to stand behind. The person who was in the center also tries to move to the outside of the circle.
  4. Whoever is left in the center comes up with the next “A cold wind blows…” statement.
