Conference Ice Breakers

Definition of ice breakers

Ice Breakers are essentially short activities designed to break down barriers and get everyone working together before an event. Ice breakers are energising, fun and high tempo.

The advantages of professional ice breakers

There are many reasons why using a professional company for your ice breakers is a good idea. It takes the pressure off the conference organiser / presenter and gives a professional feel to the event.

Teambuilding with Ice Sculptures

'Icebreakers' is an exciting teambuilding activity, giving participants the opportunity to 'try their hand' at ice carving, an activity usually experienced only by professionally trained ice sculptors. 

Within a tight 1-hour timeframe, guests are trained in ice carving techniques and given the task of creating the perfect horse's head out of ice - often with surprising and humorous results!

Ice Breakers 

The 'ultimate' package option includes a demonstration from a professional ice sculptor - thrilling in itself to watch. A finished ice sculpture can also be supplied as an example of how it should be done.

After your ice carving challenge is complete, teams present their creation to rest of the group, with points awarded for creativity, team cohesiveness and overall presentation.

Ice Breakers - Breaking the Ice 

Ice Breakers is about working together, being creative and getting stuck into the task.

The activity is a great way to treat a team, or for entertaining clients - and can taken to virtually any venue in the UK and Europe.

More Ice Breaking Ideas

  • Roller Ball

This is a great game that highlights the importance of teams working in unison. It helps them visualise the bigger picture. In this challenge teams are tasked with transporting initially one and then a series of balls around a circuit within the conference room.

Each individual carries a selection of tubular components which forms part of the track. The assembly has to be coordinated with the activities of other members within the team. 

Close concentration and communication is required to ensure the ball / balls have continuous motion along the completed track. Participants need to maintain their link in the chain to ensure the balls don't drop!

Outcome - The event demonstrates the power of cohesive teamwork, communication and united celebration.

  •   Tubular Tunes

Individuals use a selection of musical tubes called 'boom whackers'.

Each 'boom whacker', when played (as simple as tapping against your hand), makes a different tone. At the start, the sound appears to be just 'noise'. 

After 5 minutes, guided by our rhythm master, participants are united in melody.

Outcomes - This event promotes group interaction, increases motivation and enhances the power of unity.

  •  Guess Who

This team building event is an amazing networking game. Individuals really get to know those around them from different departments within the business. This is an ideal game to 'kick off' any conference, particularly, where teams from various geographic or demographic regions, are coming together.

As guests are seated, the surrounding area turns colourful as a sea of balloons drop from the ceiling. Each balloon has a tag attached detailing a person's name and their department.

Each person must grab one balloon and network with other people around the room to find the rightful owner. Once completed, the balloons are burst to reveal a 2nd tag with 2 unique things about someone within the company. Now the activity re-commences as the rightful owner of the second tags has to be identified.
