Icebreakers can be just the right thing for a small group, putting people at ease and creating fun or meaningful conversation for group members.
Here’s a few icebreakers to start your group off in this new month:
- November is Good Nutrition Month, so what is your favorite food and when and where did you first taste it?
- November is Good Nutrition Month, so what is your favorite guilty pleasure and how does it make you feel when you smuggle—I mean—eat it?
- November is Good Nutrition Month, so which of the following best describes what you think when you’re at a meal eating something that isn’t so nutritious and someone starts talking about “eating healthy?”
____ Leave it alone! Let me enjoy my indulgence!
____ Thank you for reminding me.
____ Why do skinny people love to talk about calories?!
____ I may be fat, but you’re ugly and I can diet.
____ Other: _________________________________________
