Ice breaker games for kids
Ice breaker games are an excellent way to break the ice with kids, especially if they are new to each other or shy. These games are perfect for creating a fun and friendly atmosphere where kids can get to know each other, make new friends, and have some laughs while doing it.
Here are a few ice breaker games for kids that are both fun, and easy to understand:
- Name that Tune
Divide the kids into two groups and ask one team to hum a tune while the other group has to guess the song. You can make it more challenging by only allowing a specific genre, decade or artist to be used.
- Two Truths and a Lie
This game is a classic ice breaker, and it’s both fun and easy to play. Each child will state two truths and one lie about themselves, and other kids will have to guess which statement is the lie.
- Scavenger Hunt
This game is great for outdoor play. Divide the kids into teams and provide each team with a list of items to find. The team that finds all the items on the list first wins.
- The Human Knot
This is a physical game, and it will require a bit of teamwork. Have the kids stand in a circle and hold out their hands. Each kid will then grab the hand of another child, and they will have to keep doing this until they form a knot. The goal is to untangle without letting go of each other’s hands.
- Simon says
This classic game is perfect for younger children. One child from the group will be Simon, who will give instructions for other kids to follow. But, the catch is, they can only do it if Simon says the phrase “Simon says” first.
- Charades
This classic game is always a hit with kids. Divide the children into groups and have each group come up with a list of things to act out. The other teams should guess what the act is.
In conclusion, these ice breaker games are perfect for a group of kids to break the ice, create a fun atmosphere and help each other get to know one another. These games can be played at parties, at school, on campsites, and in any other group activities. It is the perfect way to ensure that kids also learn how to work as a team and communicate with one another while having fun
