Icebreakers and Energisers

Conference icebreakers and energisers are activities designed to engage participants, break down social barriers and create a positive atmosphere at all types of events. They help attendees feel comfortable, encourage interaction and boost energy levels.

Icebreakers are usually conducted at the beginning of a conference to help attendees get to know each other and feel more at ease. Whereas energisers are short, dynamic activities used to re-energise attendees, particularly after long sessions or breaks. Both these types of activities work for all different types of events.

Benefits of these types of events include:

Encourage Networking – Help attendees connect and start conversations.
Enhance Engagement – Keep participants actively involved throughout the event.
Boost Energy & Focus – Combat fatigue, especially in long conferences.
Break Down Social Barriers – Create a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
Improve Learning & Retention – Energised and engaged attendees absorb information better.

As a full-service events agency, KDM Events offer a range of fun activities that are designed specifically as an icebreaker/energiser. Some of our popular activities include:

Human Bingo

Human Bingo is a twist on the original and a great game for all types of events, especially for people to interact and get to know each other! A bingo card will be created on which boxes will list certain interesting things a person may or may not have done, such as “Has run a marathon” and “Can say hello in 3 languages and demonstrate!

Each guest will be given a copy of the card and then asked to find people in a group who has done each thing. If a guest being asked has done that activity, they sign their name to that box. Players can only ask one question each time they meet a person and then they must move on. This guarantees that each participant is talking to multiple people throughout the game. The first person to fill their card yells ‘Bingo’.

At that point, the Bingo winner must introduce to the group each person whose name they wrote down and which square each person matches. Great fun and high energy – this are the perfect way to encourage networking and chat in an informal, fun way.

The HAKA

Perfect for all types of events, with this activity you will raise energy levels with this ancient and sacred dance! Our Haka masterclasses go beyond entertainment. They serve as a meaningful and engaging way to promote unity, diversity and inclusion while fostering teamwork and camaraderie.

Haka is a traditional Māori dance form that embodies the spirit of unity and strength. It has become internationally renowned through the performances of the All Blacks, New Zealand’s national rugby team.

It can be a profound team-building exercise, emphasizing the power of collaboration and solidarity. Our experienced Haka Master will take your guests on a whirlwind energiser where they will learn and perform the Haka as a unified team. They will learn the movements, chants, and the spirit that underpins this revered dance and embrace the culture further with traditional ta moko face painting, symbolising personal and cultural identity.

This is an engaging event which focuses on triumphing over adversity, it is about facing all of your challenges head on and with a positive mental attitude and it is about being stronger together – so works perfectly for all different types of events!

Wheel of Fortune

Ideal for workplace events this is our version of the famous spinning wheel, this fast-paced event ensures that your event either kicks off with a blast – or closes on a high, with a range of light-hearted categories which can also include the recall of business-related content in a highly interactive manner.

Teams are invited to take it in turn to come to the stage and spin the wheel. Questions from that colour category flash up on the big screen – allowing all teams to buzz in using our slammer handsets and try to answer correctly. Get it right and you win points for your team but get it wrong and all the other teams’ slammers are turned back on until someone finds the right answer!

The questions are grouped in 8 light-hearted categories such as Science and Nature, Sport, Music, Movies and Words – we can also include business specific questions tailored to your meeting content, to ensure that the business messages are not forgotten whilst still giving the perfect mix of business and fun! The event is flexible to suit your agenda – the wheel keeps on spinning until your time runs out, when a bottle of champagne for the highest score will be awarded to the triumphant team at the end of the event.
