Icebreakers are facilitation exercises intended to help form groups and teams by breaking down barriers between participants. They encourage interaction and contributions from members through fun activities that make introductions and help people relax and get to know one another. Effective icebreakers are clearly explained to participants, allow for opting out, and are assigned to others to lead when possible.

Ice breakers Presentation
The document discusses ice breakers, which are activities used at the beginning of training sessions, team building events, and other group meetings.

When planned and facilitated well, ice breakers can boost team spirit, but they require careful consideration to be successful and avoid wasting time.

It provides definitions of icebreakers and energizers, explains why they are important for effective presentations, and gives examples of different types of icebreakers and energizers that can be used. The term paper also discusses how icebreakers help create comfort among audience members and break the ice between presenters and audiences. It argues that icebreakers and energizers should be considered integral parts of any presentation, as they help make presentations more interactive and memorable.

Editor's Notes
- Keep this exercise quite short by keeping your delegates focused on the task. Make sure each person has an opportunity to participate in the first stage. Tell them when discussion time is up. There are two main points from this exercise: 1. It is an exercise in listening skills (each pairing has to listen to each other and then introduce each other to the whole group). 2. There can be a brief discussion about how and why managers or supervisors need to keep informed of, and show an interest in, their colleagues life outside of work.
