Breaking the Ice - Using Icebreaking and Teambuilding Exercises in Training

Roundtable discussion

Does your company use icebreaking exercises to start training sessions? If so, what types and how effective are they? What about teambuilding exercises –are they an effective part of your training arsenal? How do you make the exercises relevant to construction? Bring your examples of icebreaking and team-building exercises and your questions. We may even try out a few icebreakers to see how they go over with a construction group.

By attending this presentation, participants will be able to:

• Understand the difference between an icebreaker and a teambuilding exercise;
• See the values in each type of activity;
• Understand how to determine if using one of these activities is appropriate for their training session.
