What You Should Know About Me


What People Should Know About Me: 
GROUP COHESION BUILDING EXERCISE

This is a group icebreaker to help allow everyone to express themselves and their viewpoints and at the same time learn more about one another. For each item listed below, go around the group allowing everyone to share something about themselves related to the topic. Remember this is an icebreaker so it is okay to keep it simple. It is likely that there may be more about you than can be said in just one statement. However, this is not about telling your deep life story but rather just sharing some interesting thoughts about yourself to build group cohesion.  So, try to keep you answers to one or two sentences. Some examples are provided to help:

 

Humor – Example – “I love to laugh but I am not so great at making other people laugh”

 

Friendship – Example – “I am the type of friend that will have your back no matter what comes until you cross me or backstab me, then it’s over”

 

Strong Beliefs – Example – “I don’t get offended easily except that I cannot stand when anyone hurts animals as I strongly believe in being kind to animals”
