This icebreaker is great for getting your group warmed up, both physically
and mentally! It activates listening and communication skills while letting
your group have fun and laugh at their own mistakes. You can also use this
activity to talk about prevention and healthy choices. As you engage in the
icebreaker, group members will likely find that it is easy to follow what the
person next to them says and does, even if that person is not following the
instructions. It takes focus, dedication and leadership to avoid negative peer
pressure and to choose to do the right thing, like saying no to drugs and
alcohol.
Round One: Have participants repeat and do as you say. For example, say,
“jump in.” Participants will say “jump in” as they do so. Use the directions
jump in, jump out, jump right and jump left.
Round Two: Have participants say and do the opposite of what you say. For
example, say, “jump in.” Participants will say “jump out” as they do so.
Again, use the directions jump in, jump out, jump right and jump left.
Round Three: Have participants say what you say and do the opposite. For
example, say, “jump in.” Participants will say “jump in,” but actually jump
out. Use the directions jump in, jump out, jump right and jump left.
We hope you enjoy this activity and are able to use it to strengthen
conversations about prevention with your Youth Action Team or youth
organization!
