There are too many icebreakers to give you all of them. I have captured here a couple of my favorites, that work with all groups no matter what. After the Energizers section, I have listed several books that have hundreds and hundreds of them.

If you head due south from Detroit what is the first foreign country you come to? Canada.
What state has the most counties? Georgia (all county seats are no more than a round trip days carriage ride from any point in the county). What are the THREE rules for Leap Years? 1. All years divisible by four; 2. Except for century years (1900); 3. Unless the century year itself is divisible by four (e.g., 2000). The eastern end of the Panama Canal empties into what body of water? Pacific Ocean (everybody tries to figure out whether to guess Atlantic or Caribbean, but the canal runs Northwest to Southeast because of how the isthmus of Panama is)

to give them the instructions explaining the game all at once, and then they are going to start. THEY CAN'T PICK UPI THE ROPE
UNTIL YOU FINISH GIVING INSTRUCTIONS. The instructions are that each team member is supposed to pick up the rope simultaneously (not yet, not yet!) so that everyone is holding the rope at waist level with both hands. ONCE THEY PICK UP THE ROPE, THEY CANNOT LET GO OF THE ROPE WITH EITHER HAND AT ANY TIME, NO MATTER WHAT. [don't touch the rope yet!!!] And while it follows naturally if they can't let go of the rope, still tell them that YOU CAN'T SWITCH PLACES WITH ANYONE AT ANY TIME. (they'd have to let go to do that, but they will probably ask anyway, don't ask me why) Once they have grabbed the rope, they are then to turn the circle that the rope is forming into a five pointed star. They can't just "pinch the sides in", they actually have to have the rope crossing itself to make the star. See the next slide for a picture.
