Good Icebreaker Questions:
These questions are taken from Gary Poole's book, The Complete Book of Questions. I
will give them to you in various categories.
A well place question can help enormously in opening people in your group up. I would
encourage you to wait on the answers from your group. Silence is not your enemy, and
often gives people time to think about the question you have put forth.
I would also encourage you not to ask obvious questions that have "Yes" or "No"
answers. Ask questions that lights a fuse in a person's heart or can illicit something
inside of them that encourages a thoughtful response.
With these thoughts in mind, please feel free to use these questions to open a meeting, or
to use in another setting within your group format.
