As a lover of streaming platforms, I find that incorporating themed “This or That” icebreaker questions can be a great way to spark conversation and connection among guests at an event. By asking questions related to popular shows, movies, and genres, you can encourage people to share their opinions, experiences, and preferences in a fun and engaging way.
How to incorporate Streaming Platforms themed This or That questions
To incorporate streaming platforms-themed “This or That” questions into your event, follow these steps:
-
Prepare a list of questions beforehand that are related to popular shows, movies, and genres on various streaming platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Disney+. You can find inspiration by browsing the platform’s catalog or checking out online forums and fan sites.
-
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 the shows or movies 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 trivia game based on popular streaming shows or create a photo booth with props inspired by iconic movie scenes.
Ideas on different themes of questions
To keep your streaming platforms-themed icebreaker questions fresh and engaging, you can explore different themes and categories that are relevant to the platform’s offerings. Here are some ideas:
-
Genres: Ask questions related to popular genres like romance, comedy, drama, action, sci-fi, or horror (e.g., “Which genre do you prefer watching on streaming platforms?” or “What is your favorite romantic movie or series on Netflix?”).
-
Originals: Ask questions about the platform’s original content that is exclusive to its service (e.g., “Which Netflix Original show or movie is your favorite?” or “What makes a good Amazon Prime Original series?”).
-
Trending shows: Ask questions about popular shows that are currently in season or have recently aired (e.g., “Have you watched the latest season of Bridgerton on Netflix?” or “Who is your favorite character in The Mandalorian on Disney+?”).
-
Nostalgia: Ask questions about classic movies and shows that are available for streaming (e.g., “What is your favorite childhood movie or show on Hulu?” or “Which iconic 90s TV show do you enjoy watching on Amazon Prime?”).
-
Bingeworthy: Ask questions about the shows or movies that are perfect for binge-watching (e.g., “What is your go-to series for a cozy weekend in?” or “Which movie trilogy do you love to watch all at once on Disney+?”).
By incorporating these different themes of questions into your streaming platforms-themed icebreaker activity, you can keep your guests engaged and entertained while also fostering a sense of community and shared interest. So why not give it a try and see how it can enhance your next event!
