Ice Breaker Activities for use at Trainings for Volunteers
Weâ??re Stuck Together in the Web of Our Community
Needed:
A Ball of Yarn
Ample Space
(Suggestion: Volunteers should be introduced and wear nametags prior to starting this game)
â?¢ All the participants form a circle.
â?¢ Person who starts says, â?? Hi, Iâ??m Sally. I like getting involve in
volunteering with my family because it makes me feel close to my children.
Now Iâ??m connected to George.â??
â?¢ Sally holds on to the end of the yarn and throws the ball of yarn across the
circle to George.
â?¢ George says, â??Hi, Iâ??m George. I like volunteering with my Mom and Dad cause
its fun to do grown-up stuff! Thatâ??s Sally over there. She likes volunteering
because it makes her feel close to her children. Now Iâ??m connected to Jim.â??
â?¢ George takes hold of the end of the piece of yarn and throws the ball of yarn
to Jim.
â?¢ The game continues in a similar fashion until everyone in the circle is hold the end of a piece of yarn. The yarn inside the circle is criss-crossed across the circle like a spider-web.
â?¢ Other phrases that can be used with this game are:
- This is what I have done previously when volunteering.
- This is what I would like to do in upcoming volunteer opportunities.
- I feel I can help make a contribution to my community byâ?¦
Each participant repeats the phrase of the person who played just before. (George repeats Sallyâ??s phrase). With a group of older children or teens, if you would like to make the game a little more difficult, each player can repeat the phrases of all the previous participants.
After everyone in the circle has had a turn, play the game again in reverse, until all of the yarn is all rolled up again into one neat ball back in the hands of the original person (Sally)
After the game is over, talk about how every makes a very special contribution to our community in their own way. We are all connected, and what we do effects and helps all those others who are with us in our community.
Iâ??m a Piece of the Solution in my Community
Needed:
Markers
Poster board
(Scissors)
Ample Space
Prior to the training, the facilitator cuts the poster board pieces. With an older group of children or teens, each family group can cut their own. Make sure to have enough supplies for each group.
You are making puzzle pieces that will fit together at the end of this activity.
Ask each group to draw a picture on their poster board
- What I like about volunteering
- What I would like to do volunteering
- This is my better community and this is how I have helped.
After every group has completed their drawings go around the room and have everyone describe what they have drawn.
Place the pieces of the â??puzzleâ?? together on the floor. Discuss how everyone makes a special contribution to our community. If we were missing even one piece our community would not be â??completeâ?? and such a special place.
