20 Ice-Breakers & Inclusion Activities

by David Williams

This Kindle mini-book features ice-breakers and inclusion activities that are designed to break down the barriers between facilitator and participants at the start of a session. They help to overcome ‘the empty front row’ syndrome. They get people moving, talking and working with each other. They will also settle your own early nerves and energise the session by directly involving people from the start. All the activities have been personally tried and tested by the author over many years of working with a variety of sizes and types of group. Preparation is minimal – many of these exercises require only the space to work in.

About the author

In order, I am a family man, an English northerner, and a freelance writer for more years than I care to remember, first as a playwright, mainly for BBC radio and a variety of education publishers, latterly as a novelist and short story writer. More recently, I have become a games inventor. My company, Creating Games, has licensed over a dozen titles in both English and foreign language editions.

2025 sees the 200th anniversary of the opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the world's first public railway. As part of the celebrations, my novel 'Mr Stephenson's Regret' is wearing new clothes in a Stephenson 200 Anniversary edition, and I have written a full-length stage play, 'Geordie' which is to be premiered by Cliffe Theatre in Stockton in the autumn of 2025
