It’s likely you’ll be continuing some online aspects of your ministry, whether it be small-group studies, staff meetings, volunteer training, or all of the above. Avoid an awkward beginning and help participants to feel comfortable with these icebreakers:
What’s for Dinner? Plan ahead and ask everyone to be ready to name one protein and two veggies in their fridge. Get the rest of the group to brainstorm a delicious way to prepare the three. (Give the group some help by letting them add herbs, spices, and broth or cooking oil.)
TV Game Show A quick Google search will give you questions and answers for many different TV game shows. Divide your group into two and spend ten to fifteen minutes playing a few rounds.
Highlight of the Week Ask each person to share a highlight from the previous week and allow a brief time for discussion and encouragement.
