Breaking the Ice with Style:

Engaging Your Team with Icebreaker Sticks

When meetings start feeling routine and the spark of connection fades, it's time to bring something new to the table—literally. Enter the world of icebreaker sticks: a simple, versatile tool that helps bring new energy and excitement to meetings.

To use icebreaker sticks, choose fun items like pencils, popsicle sticks, or decorative swizzle sticks that fit your meeting's theme. Mark them directly with questions, attach tags, or create a corresponding list of questions tied to the color or type of stick being used. Place the sticks in a container for easy access, and have participants pick a stick at random. At the start of the meeting, explain that participants will draw and respond to the question or challenge that corresponds to their stick. This simple activity can liven up any session, spark conversations, and make meetings more interactive and enjoyable.

Below is a fun collection of creative ideas for what to use as icebreaker sticks. Need more inspiration or something tailored specifically to your theme or office? Reach out to devri@office-mojo.com!
