Top 10 Biggest Icebreakers in the World
802There are a total of 29 countries that have Icebreakers. Russia is the only country that builds nuclear icebreakers. Nuclear Icebreakers can generate power up to 230,000 horsepower. An icebreaker should be related to the subject or the purpose of the meeting. For example, if a collaborative learning environment is needed for a training project, then an icebreaker exercise that promotes collaboration could be chosen. If the subject of the meeting is literature, then the subject of the meeting could be introduced through an exercise that revolves around a participant's favorite books.
Icebreakers should be relaxing and non-threatening. For example, icebreakers in a professional setting should not require people to reveal personal information or to touch other people, as this may be stressful or culturally inappropriate. They should not embarrass the participants or make them feel compelled to participate. They should also not show disrespect for any social and professional hierarchies in the group, as this can be uncomfortable for participants. At the end of a well-executed icebreaker exercise, the facilitator should be able to summarize for the group what was learned during the exercise.
