Ice-breaker Game

I was inspired by the group presentation about Ice-breaker which I think is very interesting, so I went online and searched ice-breaker games and found this one!

Ice-breaker – Electric Shock Game

• Ask students stand in a circle and hold hands with their neighbors from both sides (leave enough space outside the circle for people to run around the circle)
• Ask all students to close their eyes
• The instructor will touch someone’s head and that person will be an “electric generator”
• The “electric generator” will squeeze the hands of his/her neighbors (both sides)
• Once the student’s hand gets squeezed, he/she will continue to “pass the electric current” by squeezing the neighbor’s hand, and so on: if students A gets squeezed on his left hand, he will squeeze the hand of his neighbor on the right side
• As the “electric current” transfers along the circle, there will be a student whose both hands get squeezed, then he/she will be the one who gets “electric shock”. Therefore, he/she will shout out “Electric shock!” After he/she shouts out, his/her neighbors (both sides) will start running around the circle in different directions
• Once they start running outside the circle, the instructor will take up one of the two positions that the runners leave
• Two runners will compete for the remaining position 
• The loser will stand in the circle and shout out his/her self-introduction (or let him/her sing a song)
