The Sopranos

The Sopranos
By Jon Zajac

### Intro

As a fan of The Sopranos, I am always looking for ways to incorporate its gritty realism, complex characters, and intricate storylines into my events. One fun way to do this is by using The Sopranos-themed “This or That” icebreaker questions. By asking questions related to the show’s themes, morality, and family dynamics, you can create a sense of community among your guests and encourage them to share their opinions and experiences.

How to incorporate The Sopranos themed This or That questions

To incorporate The Sopranos-themed “This or That” questions into your event, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare a list of questions beforehand that are related to the show’s themes, morality, and family dynamics. You can find inspiration from watching episodes, reading recaps, or browsing online forums and fan sites.

  2. 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).

  3. 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 show to keep the conversation flowing.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 The Sopranos trivia or create a photo booth with props inspired by the show’s characters and settings.

Ideas on different themes of questions

To keep your The Sopranos-themed icebreaker questions fresh and engaging, you can explore different themes and categories that are relevant to the show. Here are some ideas:

  • Themes: Ask questions that explore the show’s themes and messages (e.g., “What does The Sopranos say about the nature of power?” or “How does the show depict the conflict between family and business?”).

  • Morality: Ask questions related to the moral ambiguities and complexities of the show’s characters (e.g., “Do you sympathize with Tony Soprano’s struggles, despite his criminal actions?” or “What is your opinion on the characters who betray or deceive others?”).

  • Family: Ask questions about the show’s portrayal of family dynamics and relationships (e.g., “How does the show depict the role of women in the Soprano family?” or “Which Sopranos character do you think has the strongest bond with their family members?”).

  • Humor: Ask questions that tap into the show’s dark humor and satire (e.g., “What is your favorite joke or witty remark from The Sopranos?” or “Which character’s sense of humor do you find the most relatable?”).

  • Cultural references: Ask questions that reference pop culture, history, and current events that are featured in the show (e.g., “What is your favorite musical reference or performance in The Sopranos?” or “Which historical event do you remember from watching The Sopranos?”).

By incorporating these different themes of questions into your The Sopranos-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!
