The Most Fun ICEBREAKER for large groups! (everyone goes wild)

This is the wildest and most fun icebreaker for large groups we've ever run. The good thing is that everyone has played this icebreaker game at least once in their lives (well, maybe not as an icebreaker, though).
If you ever wanted to bring down barriers in a group fast and get a team from 0 to 100 immediately, you should definitely try this icebreaker in your next workshop or event.
This video was shot during a meet-up, where we invited 50 of the most successful facilitators from our Workshopper Master program to our office in Berlin.

📗 How to run the Rock, Paper, Scissors Icebreaker for large groups:
Step 1: Divide your participants into two groups with the same number of people each. Make sure that each participant has an opponent facing them.
Step 2: Explain the rules of Rock, paper, scissors.
Rule 1: Rock beats scissors. Scissors beat paper. Paper beats rock.
Rule 2: In our case, we decided that participants should count "one, two, three" aloud, and on the count of "four," they present rock, paper, or scissors.
Rule 3: The winner is the person who wins two out of three rounds.
Step 3: After each match, the loser has to become the biggest supporter of the winner, and hype them up during their next match. This applies to each following match until there are two big groups of people supporting the last two contenders.
Bonus step: Give the winner a little present (it doesn't have to be anything fancy). It's always great to surprise participants with this kind of gesture. It creates a memorable moment.
Thanks for watching!

"go from 0 to 100": "hello everybody" "Hello! Wooo! (ruckus applause)" I think we have different definitions of "0" 😅 But none the less, excellent icebreaker! I'm definitely adding this to my list. And wish I was at that event right now 😁 And liked and subscribed 👍

love this idea, going to try it out
-
This was great, will definitely try this exercise with my colleagues!

Love it. That was so cool.

A really easy way to get this started quickly (rather than forming two lines) is just say everyone introduce yourself to someone next to you. That's now your first competitor. If you have an odd person out, they just end up playing someone in the 2nd round. We did this in an auditorium of about 600 college students.
