Name
If You Were A Potato
Who
Any online meeting, or in-person meeting.
Duration
2-5 minutes
Directions
One by one, ask the participants, “If you were a potato, how would you be prepared?”. An example response is, “If I were a potato, I would be a tater tot.” This is a favorite icebreaker amongst Digital Innovation & Learning team members. The answers will often be very unique and often cultural. It’s a great way to loosen up the room with a bit of humor.
Adaptations/Tips
- If you’d like to prolong the activity, ask why they chose that preparation technique (the answers will often amuse you!).
