Icebreakers can be an extremely useful tool when working within your student organization. Any member of the Office of Campus Activities staff can prepare members of your group to facilitate icebreakers and team builders for use during your retreat.

Some of the reasons for doing ice breakers and team builders include:

• Develops a better sense of teamwork as a group

• Identifies strengths and weaknesses

• Encourages open discussion and idea sharing

• Simulates how people will solve real problems

• They’re fun!
