Icebreakers : Back Spell
Here’s a fun icebreaker that is like the old game password, but with a twist. Choose four teens to come to the front and then divide them into two teams. Put the first team up front, with both teens in chairs, one behind the other, so the first teen is in a front chair and the second teen is right behind him. With these two teens in “single file,” allow the back teen to turn around and look on the whiteboard for a five letter word you have written. When you say “GO” that teen is to write the word – one letter at a time – on the back of the person in front of them with their finger. The person in front must call out one letter at a time and then call out the word that was spelled. The time limit is thirty seconds, and the couple receives 1 point for each letter that is spelled and a bonus two points for getting the whole word right. After the first team competes, the second team is given a words and the time limit. Remember, each word is five letters, and in case of a tie, the team that solves the word in the shortest amount of time wins the round.
