Your small group may be slightly larger than that, and if that’s the case, please factor that in when choosing an appropriate icebreaker. The size of your group will directly impact the time you need to allow. Icebreaker Questions Tips: Like the M&M’s challenge, people will like this icebreaker because it involves candy. Bring more for people to eat during the study too. Plan on this icebreaker taking 20-30 minutes, depending on your group size. You can shorten it by not waiting until someone runs out of candy to stop.

Anastasia, you are the best thing to ever happen to me, and to call you the love of my life does not do justice to how much I love you. My existence doesn’t make sense without you by my side. For the rest of our lives, in the next life, in every alternate reality, I’ll be yours if you’ll have me. You are my best friend, my greatest gift, and Mila—and Bunny—are so blessed to have you as their mom.” What I would fault the book for, however, is that it didn’t have to be dragged for so many chapters. Although there’s still a solid plot and problems that need to be resolved, the pacing could have been a bit better. Nate and Stassie’s disagreements seemed to echo one another and were starting to get a bit repetitive. On the other hand, I applaud the author for writing them as mature and rational adults that dealt with all their issues directly, and communicated properly which seems so rare in romance genre. In this regard, I’d say Icebreaker is quite unique. Tips: This icebreaker can become as creative as you want it to be. Come up with any question that works well with your group. If your group needs to bond more, come up with a few questions that bring deeper answers to the surface. If your group needs to laugh together, come up with funny questions. This icebreaker will be a favorite because your group members will get to eat M&M’s. Icebreaker Games
