Icebreaker

Product Information

Leading a small group of people who want to grow in their faith is a fun and exciting opportunity. But before you can lead others in things like Bible study, prayer and talking about their faith with others, you need to build community within the group. That’s where icebreakers come in. Great for: Any group. The longer the group has been meeting, the more honest the answers will be. If you use this with a group of people who do not know each other well, the answers may be short and surface-level. Persevere, and people will become more comfortable with each other.
