I secretly believe
This is a great ice-breaker and warm-up for groups that don’t know each other, or for groups to learn more about each other.
For larger groups
- Have participants complete three of the sentences below on post-its.
- Then have them form groups of 2-4 and each read one of their post-its aloud to their group.
- Change the groups so participants are with new people and have them read their second.
- Change a final time and have them read their third sentence.
This is a good way to meet a few other participants if there isn’t time to meet everyone.
For smaller groups
- Have participants stand in a circle.
- Have all the sentences below written out on index cards (one per card) and hand one card to each participant.
- Go around the circle having each participant introduce themselves and then complete the sentence on their card.

- Nobody knows this, but…

Write some more of your own, perhaps more ties to the topic of your workshop.
