Icebreakers are a Women’s Ministry Leader’s best friend.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to get the entire group talking?<\/em> Do an icebreaker!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Want visitors to connect quickly?<\/em> Do an icebreaker!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to inject a little fun into your event?<\/em> Do an icebreaker!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We almost always, with rare exceptions, plan an icebreaker for every Women’s Ministry event and fellowship.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one’s a keeper! Be sure to use the print button to make a copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Icebreaker: Marooned<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Group size: 8+; divided into groups of 4-6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time needed: <\/strong>15 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplies: <\/strong>Piece of paper and pen for each group<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide in advance how you to want to divide your ladies into groups. (See Creative Uses for Name Tags<\/a> for ideas.) I’ve found it’s best to give the directions first<\/strong> and then let them gather into groups as it’s hard to get their attention back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say<\/strong> “Ladies, imagine that you and your group members have been marooned on an island. Your group needs to decide AND agree upon 5 items that you would have brought with if you knew there was a chance that you might be stranded. You’ll have 5 minutes to decide what your team’s 5 items will be. Please record them on the paper provided. At the end of the 5 minutes we’ll share our answers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes: <\/strong>Feel free to increase the number of items to 6 or 7 if time allows. Most groups will use one spot for their Bible – you could request their list be in addition to a Bible. Make it clear that they must all<\/strong> agree on an item before it goes on the list – debating is part of the fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our group had a lot of fun with this one! It was interesting to hear them debating about whether or not to bring a cellphone – one commented that they probably wouldn’t get a signal and another pointed out that a cord to recharge it would be useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most memorable response so far: a cabana boy! LOL<\/p>\n\n\n\n
