Breaking the ice. Getting to know each other through a set of “innocent” question, out of status (academic degree, job…)

Duration : 30 minutes In a basket prepare small pieces of paper with different questions. Ask each participant to pick one, and go to find a pair. They will have to ask each other the question they grabbed. When they have finished they should exchange the questions and find a new pair.

Here are some ideas of questions you can use : - Do you feel more as water, fire or wind? - If you only have taken one picture of your life, what would it be? - If you were a singer, what would be the title of your hit? - If you were blind, what would you miss the most to see? - When you’re sick, what do you really like to receive? - What is your favourite gift? - What is your sleeping position? Why? - Do you prefer watching a tree leaf falling down or tears falling down? - What is your body part that you prefer? - If a dolphin could have talked to you, what would he have told you? - I you could change something on your body, what would it be? - Who inspires you? - What kind of job did you want to do when you were a kid? - Where did you grow up? - What is your sense of good and evil? - Do you prefer cats or dogs? Why? - What is the most stupid thing you have ever done when you were a child? - What is your favourite music instrument? - Which language would you like to speak? Why? - Why do you get up every day? - What are your ideal holidays? - Tell me a place where you feel comfortable? - What outrages/revolts you? - What is beauty for you? - If you’re falling asleep with a smile, what happened? - Tell me the last joyful event you attended? - What do you love about someone? - What do you like to do to get relaxed? - What do you consume too much? - When was the last time you felt unsafe? - What is your own approach of happiness?
