Hi All,
I would like to know what are the most popular, fun ice-breakers used during induction programs. I did check out some ice breakers posted on the site, but I want to know if there are any other popular ones.

Dear Priya,
Namaskar.
I have passed through three stages of imparting training. Normally, the age range of my trainees extends from their 20s to 50s.
In the first phase, I used to put in a lot of effort to collect up-to-date materials and create a very scholarly presentation. However, when it comes to effectiveness, I was not satisfied.
So, I changed my approach. I studied the trainees' perspectives very seriously. It sparked a great deal of discussion in the class. Yet, even here, I did not find myself as effective as I desired.
Therefore, I changed my approach once more. In this phase, I quickly organize materials before the class based on free association. The presentation style involves making participants express what I aim to convey. In essence, my role becomes that of a coordinator and abstractor. I have found this approach to be highly effective with minimal strain on my part.
Now, your concern is ice-breaking. In the introductory class, I have them introduce themselves, present the institution, program, available facilities, and any other relevant information. Before concluding the class, I casually mention, "Look! Your neighbor is smiling," leading to a positive interaction. This innovative ice-breaking technique proves effective throughout the program.
Others may have their own methods.

Dear Priya,
You may please refer to the book "More Games Trainers Play" by Edward E. Scannell and John W. Newstrom. It is available with Tata McGraw-Hill Pub. in New Delhi. There are 21 Ice-Breakers listed (with 11 other sections). You can select from them based on the composition of the participants.

Hi all,
I teach secondary school students, and we are currently focusing on the topic of the Human Resources department. I would like to make my class more engaging by introducing activities or games related to this subject. Please share some ideas. Thank you.

Try this:
Play a game where every present member will have to contribute at least 2 lines to take the story ahead being started by the trainer. Every contributed line must be different and must provide a twist to the story (no dialogues or feelings).
