Ice Breakers

Here are the ice breakers from the first training! 

Icebreaker 1: Evolution

--Starting as an egg, play one round of rocks, paper, scissors. Winner turns into a chicken, loser stays an egg. Then as win as a chicken you evolve to a monkey. After you're a monkey you can win to become a human then eventually a superhero! Once you're at superhero you win!(: To make it tough if you lose any round you go back to your previous stage (human->monkey->chicken->egg). It is possible to go from human to egg, trust me I did!

Icebreaker 2: Rocks, Paper, Scissors Tournament (they said cheerleader but this is how I learned it at Freshman Orientation!)

--Pair up and play rocks, paper, scissors (one round, best two out of three, depending on how long you want this game to go on). If you win go find another winner, if you lose you must start cheering loudly for the person who beat you! Then as people lose the crowd behind people becomes bigger, eventually it comes down to 1 game where all the others are cheering for the person who took them out or someone they were cheering for out!

Icebreaker 3: Tanks & Drivers

--using pool noodles, one person is in-front blindfolded holding a pool noodle (or soft toy). The other person stands behind with their hands on the front persons, and they are the steerer (that may not be a word). The person behind has to direct the other person and tell them to throw/go right or left and stuff. Keep score even though it's just fun to watch blindfolded people throw things at each other!

Then all the staff raced to the fence! (This is a method to get the campers into a line quickly, I was amused!)   Well next up: First Aid Training!


Icebreaker 4: Things in common
--for this everyone gets into a big circle. Then someone is in the middle and says "I am a counselor". All of the counselors leave their spot and run to a new spot in the circle (that is not right next to them). Whoever is last says something they like such as "I am wearing shorts" "I like sports" etc. 






EDIT: I remembered the name of Icebreaker/game 3!  Also I added the 4th game we played!
