Audience
: Large
Setting
: OutdoorsInstructions: Players should be paired up. All players divide into two lines (facing in) shoulder to shoulder, with partners facing each other. Participants should be given approximately 30 seconds to look at their partners, taking in all details about the individual. The leader then instructs the two lines to turn and face away from the center. One or both lines has 15-20 seconds to change something about their appearance (i.e. change a watch to different wrist, unbutton a button, remove a belt, etc.). The change must be discrete, but visible to the partner. The players again turn in to face each other and have 30 seconds to discover the physical changes that have been made.

Large
Setting: Indoors or OutdoorsInstructions: Everyone must go around the room and speak with at least 10 others The purpose of this exercise is to get people to open up with one another. Give everyone a few ideas as to which topics they might want to use to get their conversation started. If you have some shy members in your group, then this mini-mixer will give them the opportunity to come out of their shell a bit. At the end of the mixer, take this ice breaker game one step further, and gather everyone in a group to discuss the game. Have everyone mention something that they thought was interesting about one of the other members, or a fact about that person that surprised them.3 Minute MixerSlide9
