Edie West Re-energizing trainees or workshop participants on the brink of boredom Introducing strangers to each other in interesting, involving ways Stimulating positive interaction and creative thinking among group members and teams Generating interest and excitement about the subject of a meeting of the topic of a speech Improving communication and build trust

Boosting problem-solving skills in an atmosphere of relaxation and fun

Reviewed at Amazon.com: There are few books on icebreakers/teambuilders that I've found to be useful with college students (I work in Student Affairs). This book, however, offered many activities that were useful not only for just 'breaking the ice' but also for applying them to the many educational workshops we do in this field. There was also a very helpful section called "Icebreakers for the Non-Icebreaker types" that was both interesting and practical. Because I work with such a diverse range of students, I struggle to find icebreakers that are not geared solely to the extroverted-types. This collection gives a number of activities that are beneficial to teambuilding while respecting the different learning/interaction styles we see in our students. Out of the 201 offered in the book, I have found at least 180 of them that I will use as integral parts of the next staff training. This book also offers activities for groups ranging from 8 participants (good for small staffs) to 400 participants (good for all-hall activities)!
