Fancy Shawl Relay Icebreaker 10 Minutes ICEBREAKER RULES 1 Divide families into two teams and give each team a shawl and a skirt. 2 The teams are then split in half and placed at opposite ends of the room facing each other. 3 At your signal, the first player from each team puts on the skirt and shawl and dances across the room toward the other half of the team. 4 They then remove the shawl and skirt as quickly as possible and give them to the next team member. 5 When the last person of a team finished dancing, he/she lays the shawl and skirt in a pile and the entire team sits on the floor to end the game. 6 The first team to get through all of its members is the winner of the icebreaker.
