Small group game, Ice breaker

4 Peas in a Pod

Description:

In this enjoyable, interactive game, participants are divided into groups, strengthening bonds as they compete to order themselves according to different criteria first. It's ideal for breaking ice, fostering connections between people who may not know each other well, while joining hands to achieve a common goal.

Rules:

  1. Begin by splitting the participants into groups of four. Depending on the total number of players, groups can range from three to as many as ten.

  2. Aim to mix up the groups, encouraging interaction between people who may not know each other very well.

  3. The game master announces different criteria that each group should order themselves by. The criteria might be as straightforward as age or height, or as cryptic as the number of pets they have at home.

  4. Upon hearing the criteria, each group must quickly arrange themselves accordingly. Once they've achieved the desired order, they sit down together.

  5. The first group to sit down wins the round, and a point is awarded.

  6. The first group to accumulate 5 points wins the game. Adjust the required points to lengthen or shorten the game as desired.

Enjoy the fun as all work cooperatively to earn points and, most importantly, get to know each other better!
