Quick Grouping Exercise

This quick grouping exercise transforms a large gathering into multiple dynamic conversations within seconds. Clumps is the perfect icebreaker game because it mixes people randomly and sparks meaningful interactions. Ideal as a fun mixing and get-to-know-you exercise, participants are encouraged to interact and meet new people while creating safe opportunities for sharing and connection.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Assemble your group in front of you.
Explain that everyone will soon be invited to form a series of smaller groups.
Each group will comprise a defined number of people matching the number you announce. For example, if you announce “SIX,” everyone must form small groups of six people, including themselves.
Loudly announce the first number.
Encourage people to locate or form their groups quickly.
Upon gathering, consider asking the group to complete a task, such as share a response to a question you pose.
Repeat, by continuing to announce a series of numbers until you are satisfied you have created sufficiently random small teams.
