Any learning experience should be tied to your goals and the needs of your group. Start by considering how well your players already know each other. Then, consider which goals will best serve your needs:
Break the ice – simple, easy-to-answer questions
Find common ground – help players identify others with whom they might connect
Build stronger relationships – more in-depth questions that may require more thought
Dig deeper into a specific topic – have rich conversations about teams, leadership, diversity, ethics, happiness, stress, safety, etc.
