\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How well do you know the women on your women\u2019s ministry team or in your small group?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Uncover just how well you know your team or group members with this brand-new, original icebreaker game, \u201cWould she rather?\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Does Suan prefer to cook or clean?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would Tonja rather drink coffee or tea?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which would Donna prefer \u2013 chocolate or vanilla?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Barb a mall or online shopper?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To play this icebreaker game, you\u2019ll need to print out a worksheet for every group or team member.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, they\u2019ll answer the questions about themselves<\/strong>; then, they\u2019ll need to answer the questions for each group or team member<\/strong>. (You could write the names of each member on the sheet before making copies.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re feeling especially competitive, you could award one point for every correct answer with bragging rights or a small prize for the group member that was able to make the most accurate number of guesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go around the table or circle and ask each woman to share their answers. Your group may discover new things about each other that will lead to more in-depth conversations later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve created two different versions, one is general, with just-for-fun type questions. The second focuses on spiritual questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Those spiritual questions could be intimidating to women who are new to the faith<\/strong>, so please save that worksheet for a group of more seasoned believers. <\/strong><\/em>We don\u2019t want anyone to feel like they are failing in their spiritual walk! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You may also want to remind them which one is Martha (worker bee) and which is Mary (sitting at Jesus\u2019 feet), in case they confuse the two as I did for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Some of your women are going to struggle to select just one answer, <\/strong>encourage them to do it anyway. Remind them that there are no wrong answers. We are just curious which they prefer if they had to choose one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Remember, the purpose of icebreaker games is to grow relationships. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      We\u2019re inviting women to make connections by sharing information about themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
