Ice Breakers 3: Either Or?

People get together to be social.   Every social environment will be unique, a different place, different people and at least at a different time.  Even the same group of people in the same place but at a different time will have a different feel, those people will be at least be a little older, even wiser.

Add to that, some people are naturally more social than others.  So sometimes it's helpful to encourage things along a little. When individuals can relax into that social environment, they are more likely to have a more enjoyable time.  And so it then stands to reason, that the sooner individuals relax and get comfortable, then the longer they can spend enjoying themselves.  So there's great benefit in getting people comfortable and enjoying themselves quickly.... more people can have a great time sooner.

We've previously described and detailed various ice breakers.  See...
