icebreakers
The first ten minutes decide whether a room talks or waits. These 5 icebreakers all get everyone speaking inside one round — one needs nothing at all, one a single blanket, three a stack of printed cards. Pick one, print the folder, and open the session with it.
Two Truths and a Lie
Listed
A 15-minute, 8–20 person icebreaker that rebuilds the classic getting-to-know-you game with two guardrails — public work facts only, eyes-closed voting — so everyone leaves with three checkable facts about every colleague. A spoken boundary rule and a pre/post measure included.
icebreakers
Blanket Drop
Listed
A 10-minute, 8–20 person name-game icebreaker where the blanket drops and the first team to shout the right name wins the round — every name in the room gets learned at a speed introductions cannot match. A spoken safety rule and a pre/post measure included.

Common Ground

Assessment
A 15-minute, 8–20 person icebreaker where small groups hunt for facts true of everyone at the table — surprising ones score 3× — forcing the questions nobody asks in week one. Recorder cards and a pre/post measure included.

paper first, optional after
Every folder above prints and runs with markers only — no account, no projector. If you want the same measure as a live form, or answers on the room's big screen, each folder page carries an optional section for it: FormLM builds the online pre/post, QRCard-AI runs the scan-and-display half. Neither is required to use what you downloaded.
