Pile Up (Traffic Jam)
This ice breaker is good for all ages. Have the large group sit in chairs in a large circle. The activity leader calls out directions such as, “Everyone who listens to Michael Jackson move two chairs to your right.” Then the people who like Michael Jackson move two places to the right and sit in that chair or on the person’s lap who is still sitting there. This continues with other questions. This is why we call this game pile up or traffic jam. At some point there will be tall piles of people and empty chairs. If a person who is being sat on agrees with the question then he moves without the pile. The questions are individually based and not pile based. Questions can deal with clothing, personalities, hobbies, etc.
