Hi,
Here are a couple of ice breakers that I use in my programs:
1. Each participant is asked to either write words or draw pictures that describe themselves. This is done silently. They pin the picture on their chests, walk around, and have everyone look each other over. Pictures are then shuffled, and participants are asked to identify the person to which the picture belongs.
2. Sit in a circle. One person starts by using an adjective starting with the same letter as their first name, followed by their first name (e.g., Clever Claire, Kind Karen). The next person and following have to repeat the first person's adjective and name and then add their own. It goes around the circle, and the last person has to repeat all other names in order and end with their own.

Hi,
Two icebreakers I know, which I don't know if it's new or if you know about them, but they sure are interesting.
1) Ask everyone to take two pieces of paper and write two things about themselves on each. On one, he/she would write about their physical appearance, and on the second one, they would write about their basic nature. No one will write their name or show it to anyone and hand it over to the coordinator. The coordinator will shuffle it and pass on two papers each to all. Participants have to guess about whom they are reading. They can go and ask the person if they think he is. And once they have found the correct person, at the end, they will introduce them to all.
This will help them know each other better.
2) Write the names of different characters on a piece of paper and ask everyone to come forward one by one and enact the character to all without uttering a word. Others will guess the person. For example, Robot - one will have to enact like a robot. Or Amitabh Bachchan - one will have to enact like Amitabh.
Hope you like it.

Icebreaker Game –
1. My Name Means…
A good game for small groups who need to know a little bit more about each other.
Split the group into pairs. Each pair has to come up with words that describe the person using the letters in their first name. The phrase is then shared with the group.
As an example, Lyndsay could stand for “Loud, Young, Nerdy, Dreamer, Strong, Adventurous, Yearning”.
As a more creative alternative, each pair has to come up with a silly phrase based on the letters in their first name.
Lyndsay could be “Lively Young Nurses Dance Salsa All Year”
2. If I were a…
A fun icebreaker game to encourage creativity, best for smaller groups.
Ask each person to say what they would be and why, if they were a…
• A piece of fruit
• An historical figure
• A household object
• A cartoon character
• Any other off the wall group you can think of!
I would be a pineapple as I am exotic, sweet and zingy.
I would be a whisk as I like to stir things up.
I would be Taz as I rush around like a crazy creature!
