Icebreakers for Small Groups (2 to 5 people)
The following icebreakers are especially useful for small groups and teams of about two to five people. Got a larger group? No worries! In many cases, larger groups can subdivide into smaller groups and play these as well. Just because you don’t have a lot of people doesn’t mean you can’t have a great time. Try them out and let us know which ones you think are the most fun! Check out the instructions within each article below.
