I'm always looking for an interesting way to begin my groups, and I always start with some type of icebreaker questions. I have been collecting ping pong balls whenever I find ones that do not have any writing on them. It has taken me a few months, but finally my collection is complete.
I also have been trying to collect icebreaker questions that I have not asked before, so it was a challenge to find something new. Luckily, I have the creative brains of many school counselors as I am part of the Caught In The Middle School Counselors Facebook group. Currently we have 3,747 counselor members. I just asked the question, "what is your favorite icebreaker question?" and the answers started pouring in. There were many favorite that I already use, but below is a listing of the questions I wrote on the ping pong balls.
