Icebreaker questions for meetings

Good icebreaker questions are quick, low-stakes and a little bit fun, so everyone can answer without thinking too hard or sharing too much. This-or-that questions such as “Tea or coffee?” and “Samosa or vada pav?” work in any room. Would-you-rather questions spark debate, one-word prompts like “In one word, how was your week?” show the mood of the room, and a three-question warm-up quiz puts everyone on the leaderboard in the first minute. The easiest way to run them is live: in QG Playground, add the questions as polls or word clouds, show the room code, and people answer on their phones in a few seconds. The results appear on the big screen as they arrive, which starts the conversation for you. Polls and word clouds are on the Free plan for up to 20 people, so you can try this at your next meeting.
