1. Icebreaker Questions

Fun icebreaker questions are easy to kick off any event, team-building session, or offsite. When bringing teams together, especially employees who may not collaborate directly all the time, it’s nice to have conversation starters to break the ice and make everyone’s voice heard. We have chosen work-related questions that can work no matter how well your team knows each other!

1. What was your first job? How old were you?

2. How many unread emails are there in your inbox?

3. If you could choose someone else’s job in your team for a day, who would it be?

4. If you went to college, what did you study? Are you still in that career now?

5. If you could learn one professional skill overnight, what would it be?

6. How many alarms do you set in the morning? Do you get up immediately or hit snooze?

7. What is the best/worst job interview you have ever had? Why is it the best/worst?

8. What skills do you wish you would have learned earlier in your career?

9. What piece of advice would you give someone starting out in your field?

10. What is your proudest professional achievement to date?

2. This Or That Questions

This or that questions are a fun and lighthearted way to engage your teams; this works great for large groups who may not have time to connect with everyone one-on-one or for more informal meetings/huddles. It’s also fun to engage through social media, as you can set up a poll and ask your team to discuss their opinions in the comments! 

1. Lose your phone or lose your keys?

2. Be a shapeshifter or have the ability to read minds?

3. Wear an itchy sweater or have a blister?

4. Be underdressed or overdressed for a work event?

5. Only be able to eat plain cheese pizza or never eat pizza again?

6. Eat a Lunchable every day or a Cup Noodles every day?

7. Go on an all-inclusive holiday somewhere you’ve been, or travel to your dream destination?

8. Run out of creamer for your coffee or only have decaf coffee available?

9. Eat fries with no salt, or eat over-salted fries?

10. Read a book or watch a movie to unwind?

3. Trivia Questions

Trivia is our go-to game to challenge teams and instill friendly competition into any team-building experience. Your team will find out who among them is a trivia wiz and who knows the most about topics like music, history, geography, pop culture, and more!

4. Get To Know You Questions

Once your team is settled into your events, or if you have already established a sense of comfort, get-to-know-you questions are a great way to foster relationship-building among your employees. You can break down your event into smaller hubs so employees can talk to new people or put them into break-out rooms if your team is virtual. 

1. What is your dream vacation spot?
