#40 Fun Icebreakers: Questions to Help Your Friends Have Fun

…when you’re trying to get to know your friends better, but don’t know what to ask.

This is helpful, especially, if you’ve lost touch with people, are new to each other or are tired of asking the same ol’ stuff.

Check out these 3 short tips. for the best question-asking:

1 Best played as dinner conversation, with wine or chilling out

This way, it feels more natural. Everyone will be in the mood and so will be more open. Any other way of using will feel forced and off-putting.

2 Entertaining a few friends? Make it a group game

Print/write out the questions, cut into strips and shuffle in a bowl. Everyone takes it in turn to throw a dice. Highest number rolled takes a strip and asks everyone the question.

3 Entertaining only one or two friends?

Just slip your questions into conversation playfully. Alcohol can help.

Make sure you avoid making it feel like an interview.

Also, make sure everyone gets to take turns with the question-asking. More fun that way.
