icebreaker
i'm feeling the need for an icebreaker or two, it having been [ahem] quite a while since i've last posted a blog entry. my apologies to those of you who haven't the patience for my sporadic posting...
anyway, i remember the days of my youth in which my social norms largely revolved around 'icebreaker' games i was subjected to in church youth groups and the like. i hated them and will probably never get over it.... the base question is this: which was the worst:
1. Two Truths and a Lie, defined: Go around group and everyone has to say two true statements about themselves and one false. The rest of the group has to guess which one is false. You may be surprised. you can learn some crazy things about each other!
2. Duck Duck Goose, defined: All participants sit in a circle. The person "ducking" says a person characteristic about themselves as they go around the cirlce. The rest of activity works the same as Duck, Duck, Goose.
3. Name Game, defined: Sit in a circle. one person starts by using an adjective starting with the same letter as their first name, followed by their first name (i.e. Clever Claire, Kind Karen) The next person and following has to repeat the first person's adjective and name and then add their own. it goes arounf the circle and the last person has to repeat all other names in order and end with their own.
you vote 1, 2 or 3. Tell me which is the worst. or add your own worst icebreaker experience and vote for that.

I vote for #3. Actually enjoyed #1.
I've heard stories about #2 - the duck duck goose game but have never had the honor of playing it.
I really dislike #3. My freshman year at college we had a floor meeting and we played that game to memorize everybodies names. We played with foods however. For the majority of that first year I was known as Pita Phil. Yuck!
