Icebreaker: Open the Door
It can be a challenge to get the ball rolling in a small group. Retreats, events and new Bible studies each present opportunities for women to get to know each other, but they might just need a little help getting started.
With everyone sitting around a table or in a circle, give a door knob to one person in the group. giving them each a chance to answer a question. Place the following questions written on strips of paper in a basket on the table. The person with the door knob chooses a question, answers and then passes the door knob and the question to the next person until all have answered. Then begin again with a new question.
-
- My favorite color is...
- My favorite food is...
- My earliest childhood memory is...
- In my spare time, I like to...
- I hope to travel to...
- I grew up in...
Go around the group a couple of times with the general questions and then ask each woman to answer the question: "What doors has God opened for me?" (Variations: What doors have I closed on God?, What doors has God reopened in my life?)
Really, the questions are limitless. This is a fun way for women to get to know each other without feeling threatened.
