Ice-breaker Activities
One objective with the introduction of an SI-PASS session is to set the tone of the meeting – to get participants involved. Ice-breaker activities are excellent for this purpose.
Ice-breaker activities are used to
- bring the group together at the beginning of the session
- get participants in a discussion mode
- energize participants
- provide an easy-going and positive atmosphere to encourage all type of questions.
