flyChat ... iPhone Social Game http://mashable.com/2009/07/17/flychat/ flyChat ... iPhone Social Game
I suspect that this iPhone App has potential to be used as an Ice Breaker in meetings ... providing everyone has an iPhone of course. "... app designed to let you interact with completely random strangers by attaching your message to virtual flies who buzz around on the iPhones of other users. The idea is to help you meet new people; the methodology is quirky, strange, and buzz-worthy.
flyChat’s iPhone app throws the traditional social network model up in the air, and instead uses themes, tags, and chance encounters to ensure that your updates get seen by interested parties."

Energizers http://www.johnsleigh.com.au/energizers.htm Energizers : Some short activities, ideal for defeating after lunch lethargy, breaking the ice or a seamless transition between subjects, also suitable for inclusion in speeches.

For the following activities, it often helps to break the group into couples or trios. The smaller groups allow for more discussion, keeps participants from mentally wondering off, builds rapport, and allows for "one-on-one" relationships.
Sometimes the problem is not warming up, but the need to calm or "come down" to reality after some intensive material is presented. Also, to get the full benefit of new material, some "introspective time" is needed.

Ice breakers are a great way to begin a meeting. They help to relax participants, and that makes them more receptive to listening and contributing. An ice breaker can also serve to build a team atmosphere and to generate enthusiasm. Ice breakers can be fun, amusing, humorous, thoughtful, surprising or just plain silly. The days of one-liner jokes as ice breakers are gone, and there are many new creative ideas.
