This Icebreakr requires paper, creativity and a timer
- Gather your friends
- One person will pull up a timer on their phone and keep track of points
- Everyone in the group will write down on a piece something like below. State the product they have to sell and a caveat statement (SEE BELOW) Leave a number, symbol or icon on the back of your paper so you know which one is yours.
- It will be placed in the middle and everyone will select a paper that isn’t theirs.
- You will have 30 seconds to prepare for a 30 second commercial meeting your guidlenes. In the end, everyone has to guess the instructions you were given. The actor wins if they guess it correctly, the writer wins if the group guesses it incorrectly. The writer is allowed to talk and steer the group in the wrong direction.
Examples
“You have to sell the iWatch”
CAVEAT: You have to sell it to people in retirement homes.“You have to sell A Barak Obama T-Shirt”
CAVEAT: You have to sell it in a south western accent.
