“We Are Similar” Icebreaker Game

Before the meeting, write the following sentence across the top of a dry erase board, chalk board or large sheet of paper:

“______ and I are similar because we…”

Then list a few of following sample similarities below the sentence:

• Are from the same home state
• Laugh the same way
• Like the same book or type of books
• Drive the same type of vehicle
• Have the same favorite color
• Like the same dessert
• Have the same color of eyes
• Wear the same style of shoes
• Have the same number of siblings
• Have been married the same number of years
• Have the same hobby
• Have the same middle initial
• Have the same number of children (including zero)
• Work at the same type of job
• Have children the same ages
• Like the same kind of sandwich

As the ladies enter, give each person an index card and a pencil. When everyone has arrived, say: “Choose a person you do not know well, and write on your card that person’s first name and at least five similarities you share. I’ve listed sample similarities on this poster, but you aren’t limited just these.”

Allow people five minutes to complete their lists and to chat with their partners. Then say: “Now find someone else you do not know well and use the other side of your card to repeat the process with that person. “

After another five minutes, ask people to introduce their two partners by name and to list their similarities. In this way, the group will hear from two different perspective views (Ten things about each person).

 Women Church Group “Toilet Paper” Icebreaker.

 
Have everyone sit in a circle or if you have a large group make several circles.  Pass around a roll of toilet paper, and tell everyone that is the only toilet paper in the place, and to tear off what they will want to use!

Once the roll has made it all the way around, start with the first lady in the circle and ask her to tell one thing about herself for each square of toilet paper she tore off!

Go around the entire circle.

What’s really fun is when they take you seriously about that being the only toilet roll available. You’ll have ladies wrapping the stuff around their hand and hiding it in their purses!   

“If I Were Queen Of The WORLD…” Icebreaker

 As the ladies come in, hand them a 3 x 5 card, telling them to put down five laws they would enact if they were made “Queen of the World” tomorrow. Tell them to remember that when they write these laws, everyone will be required to obey them. You will start a lot of laughter or invite interesting discussion when you gather these up and read them aloud.

 Answers may vary from: “Pornographers will be put to death”, “No abortion allowed” and “Drunk Drivers should be jailed for life” to “People who snore should be shot.”

 After you have read the cards, you may want to have a brief discussion on the importance of following the right rules: God’s Word.
