As the leaves begin to change color and the weather starts to cool down, Fall is the perfect time to incorporate seasonal themes into your events. One fun way to do this is by using Fall-themed “This or That” icebreaker questions. By asking questions related to the sights, sounds, tastes, and activities of the season, you can create a festive atmosphere and encourage your guests to connect with each other.
How to incorporate Fall themed This or That questions
To incorporate Fall-themed “This or That” questions into your event, follow these steps:
-
Prepare a list of questions beforehand that are related to the season’s themes and motifs. You can find inspiration from browsing online resources, social media, or brainstorming with colleagues.
-
Print out the questions on cards or display them on a screen or a poster board. Encourage your guests to form small groups of 3-5 people and take turns asking each other the questions. You can also create a rotation system where each group moves on to the next question after a set amount of time (e.g., 2-3 minutes).
-
Make sure everyone has a chance to answer each question and listen actively to their responses. Encourage follow-up questions, comments, and discussions that build on the initial answers. You can also share your own insights and opinions about Fall to keep the conversation flowing.
-
After everyone has had a chance to answer all the questions, gather your guests in a larger group and ask them to share their favorite or most surprising answers. You can also use this opportunity to highlight any commonalities or connections that emerged during the activity.
-
Consider using some of the insights or stories that came up during the “This or That” icebreaker as a springboard for further conversations and activities throughout the day. For example, you could organize a Fall-themed scavenger hunt or create a DIY pumpkin carving station.
Ideas on different themes of questions
To keep your Fall-themed icebreaker questions fresh and engaging, you can explore different themes and categories that are relevant to the season. Here are some ideas:
-
Nature: Ask questions related to the changing leaves, crisp air, and harvest moon (e.g., “What is your favorite Fall foliage color?” or “Do you prefer a hot beverage or a cold one on a chilly Fall day?”).
-
Hobbies: Ask questions about the activities that people enjoy during Fall (e.g., “Which Fall sport do you look forward to watching or playing?” or “What is your favorite Fall-themed craft or DIY project?”).
-
Food: Ask questions related to the seasonal flavors and dishes that are popular during Fall (e.g., “Do you prefer pumpkin spice or apple cider?” or “Which Fall comfort food do you crave most?”).
-
Culture: Ask questions about the traditions, holidays, and celebrations that take place during Fall (e.g., “What is your favorite Halloween costume or decoration?” or “What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish or family tradition?”).
-
Moods and emotions: Ask questions that tap into the feelings and moods that are associated with Fall (e.g., “Do you prefer cozying up indoors or exploring outdoors during Fall?” or “What is your favorite way to relax or unwind during Fall?”).
By incorporating these different themes of questions into your Fall-themed icebreaker activity, you can create a fun and festive atmosphere that encourages your guests to connect with each other and celebrate the season. So why not give it a try and see how it can enhance your next event!
