I often go to meetings and conferences that have “fun” icebreakers to assist people in getting to know each other. Personally, about 99% of the icebreakers that I take part in are not fun at all and provide me with feelings of anxiety and embarrassment! Not fun at all.
Yesterday, I had to do the typical “two truths and a lie” icebreaker. In doing it, I got so flustered that I said said two lies and a truth instead. I’ve decided that I need to prepare some in advance so that I can be prepared for the inevitable next time I have to do this activity.
So, dearest friends family and freaders, let’s see how well you know me! Here are my two truths and a lie.
1.) I have coached a snowboard racing team.
2.) I have run a marathon.
3.) I grew up in a trailer with my family.
Which one is a lie? Hmm… Share your two truths and a lie so you can be prepared for this icebreaker!
hmmm…. i think the coaching the snowboard racing team is a lie.
I know which one is a lie! But I don’t want to ruin it for everyone else..
Easssy! I won’t ruin it either though.
The other day I had to help make up (with a group) a skit, introducing ourselves in Dr. Seuss form. I hate that kind of thing too! We had to do it on a stage in an auditorium. Oh well… at least I didn’t get the Harlequin romance one.

I know tooo!
I always get so flustered too! Even if it’s something easy like your name, where you’re from and your major. We had to do that for cheerleading.
Your lie is the snowboarding one! But u could totally make it true this year in the mountians!!
Can u guess mine?
1. Growing up I only wanted 1 kid
2. I grew up poor
3. I grew up being the only girl in my entire family, including cousins and such.
I always hate these “fun” icebreakers. They give me the same feeling of anxiety and embarrassment.
Oh god I hate ice breakers. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t find them awkward and uncomfortable. Why do they still exist?

I HATE icebreakers like this, too! I always get very nervous and flustered and end up saying something totally lame. One time for a “get to know your floormates” in college, we had to share something “interesting” about ourselves, and I could think of nothing. For 5 minutes or so. It was even more awkward because I was the last person to go, so it wasn’t like they could just come back to me.
