Fun Fact Ideas For The Dreaded Ice Breaker Games

Oh gosh, if there's one thing I abhor profusely, it's Ice Breaker games. No, I do not want to talk to someone I don't know. I especially do not want to stand up in front of everyone and say a Fun Fact about myself. Please, for the love of all things sacred, don't make me do a Trust Fall. 

However, it seems when a job or school begins, that Ice Breaker games start. Look, if people want to talk, they will. Do not force them with these terrible, terrible games. I beg of you. My palms that immediately go clammy when someone mentions Ice Breaker games BEG OF YOU.

My daughter isn't looking forward to school starting because she knows some classes will do the Ice Breaker games. My son moves into his college dorm and there are mandatory meetings and he's petrified that in those meetings the Fun Fact thing will happen. 

But it's okay! I have some Fun Fact ideas if you draw a blank. Just always have these at the top of your mind when you are asked to share a Fun Fact.

--Seen a movie over and over again? Say something like "I've seen Titanic over 20 times." (Yes. I've done this.)

--Were you born on a holiday? Mention that. 

---Ever met a celebrity? That's a Fun Fact. (I (very briefly) met Andrew Garfield!)

---Obsessed with a certain drink? Be like "I love Diet Coke and need it to stay friendly." But insert your drink of choice there. Unless you also are obsessed with Diet Coke.

---That also works if you're obsessed with a certain store. Say, "I've spent thousands of dollars at Target." Or if you're more girly, insert Sephora. 

---I once used that I do not like seafood. This shocked so many people. So if you don't like a food that everyone generally adores, use it!

And there you have it! Fun Fact Ideas. I apologize in advance if you're forced to do this but people just insist that others will enjoy these games so they'll always be around. Embrace is as best you can.
