Icebreaker questions for meetings: 30 quick ones for the first five minutes

Meeting icebreakers should take five minutes, not fifteen. These can all be answered in a sentence: the best thing you ate this week, the song on repeat, one small win. They work in person and on video calls with a shared screen.

Questions

Good to know

How long should a meeting icebreaker take?

Aim for five minutes. Every question here can be answered in one sentence.

Do these work on video calls?

Yes. Share your screen with the question on it and go around the call.

How often should we use them?

Once a week works well for a recurring team meeting. Rotate who picks the question.
