Description
Here is a great icebreaker game that students seem to love! It's called "Neighbors" The participants will stand in a circle. One player is picked to be in the middle. That person will approach a person in the circle, he will ask: "Do you like your neighbors?" If the answer is no, the two people on either side of the person must switch places while the person who did the asking will attempt to take one of their spaces in the circle. If the answer is "Yes, I like my neighbors" The person must then say "...but I don't like _________" The _________ can be a silly yet appropriate choice such as "People who are wearing blue" or "People with open toed shoes". At that point, all the people who are wearing blue or open toed shoes must switch places in the circle with someone else who has on blue or open toed shoes. It's fun and a bit wacky. Gets people moving.
