Know any good ice breakers?

I'm enrolled in this seminar class called "End of Life Issues". Yeah it's all about death. It tends to be incredibly morbid and depressing so the teacher does these goofy ice breakers at the beginning of class to lighten the mood.

Well she knows me since I fixed her computer after her newly born kid spit up on the keyboard So now I'm stuck doing the ice breaker game on Tuesday.

Short of trust exercises and a human knot does anyone know any good ice breakers for a large group of 25 college kids (mostly girls )?

You could always say at the end of life for most men, "All their FARTS are just dust in the wind".

uhm you could do the Ninja name game... The point of the game is you say your name and do a karate move, then the next person has to remember your name and move and do theirs.. It adds up to the end where the last person has to say everyones name and karate move.


or get a cheap ball of yarn and stand in a circle and throw it across to someone and say your name, then they do the same or an interesting fact about yourself or anything. In the end you'll make a pretty cool web.

let me know I've got a bunch since I work with middle and high school kids

Bring in some life insurance brochures.

BTW why are you taking such a depressing class? Save that crap for the nursing home.

Tell them that were were told if your nervous speaking in front of a group to picture them in their underware. Then tell them it might not work because you have been doing that all semester already.

Nothing like a good game of duck duck goose, I say. And, it's nice cuz you don't have to touch people you don't want to! .... 'course they can touch you, but at least it ain't a stinky human knot.

I've completed all of my pre-reqs and gen eds already. So instead of stuffing up my schedule with stupid classes I cut them all. I took a Gerontology class last semester and I enjoyed it so I wanted to take another one. That and I was under the "full time student" minimum credit limit.

I'm taking a couple of comp-sci classes for my minor. Since i'm audio production major I can only take so many comm classes. That and my school is a total joke when it comes to letting me get registered for the classes I need . 2.5 turbo knows what I am talking about.

I'm caught between duck duck goose and the karate game. I might do duck duck goose because it's just plain awesome.

I have a friend who teaches Death and Dying. Last week I was in a used bookstore and found a copy of a funeral directors guide to religions in America. It listed all the things in each religion the funeral director needed to know. It was quite interesting. If you could find a copy of the book you could play a game where you listed the various requirements, Does a priest have to be present at death, is cremation permitted, etc and have people guess the religions. The book had a list of about 50 different religious groups.
The book I found was from the 1950's and published in Casper, WY. My friend loved the book and is scanning it to put on her Death and Dying website.

Barring that, you could initiate a discussion on what sex act would people prefer to be engaged in at their dying moment.

Always works for me with a medium sized, informal group... the movie game.

You start by saying a movie name, the person next to you says an actor or actress in the movie you said, the next person says a movie with that actor or actress, and so on.

I thought you pictured them naked?

Seeing as how that class probably has both sexes, they might wonder if he "drives on both sides of the road". Does he?

How about the joke that goes:

A man visits his comatose wife every day. One day, while cleaning the woman up "down there", she moaned a little. The nurse informed the doctor about it and the doctor suggested to the man that he and his comatose wife engage in some oral sex to see if that could wake her up. They left the husband alone for a while while he got to it. After a few minutes, the husband rushed out of the room screaming about his wife who stopped breathing. All attempts to resuscitate her failed. Finally, the doctor asked the husband about what happend. The husband said "Well, I started some oral sex with her like you sugested but she choked."
