Team Building Games: Know Your Team Mates?


Purpose

This fun exercise is especially useful for a group of people who don’t know each other very well such as new employees or people from different departments within an organisation. This activity can be used as an ice breaker to help people get to know each other better.

Objective

Each participant has to find out a series of information from other people in the group.

What You Need

  • A copy of the "questionnaire" shown below for each delegate

Setup

Question: Someone who was born in the same year as you

Answer: John

  • Give a box of chocolate to the winner.
