Ice breakers, or perhaps more correctly mood makers, can help enhance the variety, fun and sociability during an event. We've previously described why this works, and shared some ice breaker activities.

Here's another ice breaker idea - Give Me Five.
Given a topic, it's about finding five things that match that topic. This can be played very simply by just using the topic heading, and finding five sensible answers. Can be more tricky to find the 5 specific pre-determined, and for some added tension, to do this against the clock.
Lots of fun, nice and simple, and can have simpler through to more cultured topics
