What Is a “Find Someone Who” Icebreaker?
“Find someone who…” is a classic icebreaker: everyone gets a list of prompts like 'Find someone who has lived in another country' and has to find a person in the room who fits each one. It works because it gives people a reason to walk up to someone new and an easy first question. The best prompts go one step further and add a follow-up — 'and ask them what they miss most' — so the conversation doesn't end after a yes or no.
