Accentuate The Positive

An Icebreaker Activity

 

 

 

 

Recommended Class Size: Suitable up to about 30; depends on class size and available training time.  Fifteen to 20 minutes, however, is time well spent for any good icebreaker.

 

Materials Needed: None

 

Time Required:  Allow about 30 seconds for participants to think of their positive adjective and then permit about 20 to 30 seconds per person for introductions.

 

Instructions: Ask each participant to introduce themselves by name and include a positive descriptive adjective that begins with the same letter as his/her first name.  For example:  “ I am energetic Ellen Smith.” 

 

NOTE:  For additional impact -throughout the class the facilitator and other class participants should try to remember and address one another using the positive adjective.
