Party Icebreaker Games.

Party Icebreaker games can help introduce people as well as get a group to open up to each other. Icebreaker games are good for home parties, team building and other active groups. These games will get people in the mood to listen to a speaker, as well as open them up for social interaction.

The following fun party icebreaker games are great for all occasions.

Truth from fiction
Each person tells two truths and one lie about himself or herself. Then the group has to guess which statement was a lie. If they can't figure out which is the lie, the person tells two more truths abut themselves, and the group guesses once more. If they didn't get it after the second round of truths, the person has stumped the group.

I Never
Give each person an equal number of pennies or tokens (less than 10), and place a cup in the center of the group. Each person gives a one sentence description of something they have never done. Anyone who has done it will place a token in the cup. The first person to run out of pennies wins.

The String Game
This is one of the get-to-know-you icebreaker games. Beforehand cut a bunch of pieces of string in varying lengths, from about 12 inches up to 3 feet. Yarn or twine is really good for this game. Put all the pieces in a loose pile. Each person, in turn, picks up the end of a string and slowly winds it around their index finger. As they are winding up the string, they are to tell the group about themselves. The funny part of this icebreaker game is, some of the strings are exceptionally long, so those people will have to talk for a long time.

Who Am I?
Make cards, or post-it notes with the name of a famous person, or a person everyone in the group knows, on each. Keeping the name hidden, stick a post-it to each person's forehead.

Now have people mingle asking questions to figure out the name on their card. They can only ask yes or no questions. You can only ask each member of the group one question. Keep going around the group until you guess who you are. Keep going until everyone has guessed or if time is tight, maybe stop after a few right answers.

Here are a couple party icebreaker games that work great for home party type gatherings. These get people's attention, and get them listening in detail, two things a home party hostess wants most. See who makes the most points
