The foundation of good mental health is creating connection and belonging. This adult version of the Fishbowl Game is one of the hottest downloads on this site. The activity is designed for employers, managers, and leaders to create a culture of wellness in their workplace.
Whether you use it as an icebreaker game for meetings or as a team-building activity for employees, activities like this can boost retention, reduce absenteeism, improve performance, and save lives while preparing people for future life and leadership roles. People are happier and more satisfied when they feel connected.
Goals: Build connections, teams, relationships, and mindfulness (being in the moment). This is part of an overall strategy to build a culture and foundation of workplace wellness. This could be an icebreaker, a team meeting activity, or a simple team-building activity.

Examples of 3 of the 96 activity icebreaker statements
Details of the Activity
Time: 5-45 min
For # of people: 3-96 (Great icebreaker for meetings)
# of squares: 96 (16 per page)
Materials needed: A printer to print them out and scissors to cut apart the squares. A bowl, bag, or box to put the folded questions.
Preparation: Done for you! (Except for cutting and folding) You can even add a few of your own.
For: Employees, managers, HR team, leaders, educators, healthcare and gov employees, etc.
Virtual adaptation: Yes
Directions: Cut apart and put the slips of paper in a bag, box or jar and let employees or managers choose one. They can choose one as they enter and then answer it once everyone is present or you can just have them choose from the bag and say the first thing that comes to mind.
The person can reject the first one if they don’t like it, but that means they have to stick with the second one they choose.
How to: As people enter the room, have them choose one out of the bag. I usually use this in workshops, and the person states their name and position and then shares their answer to the fishbowl selection. You can do these in small groups and use it in many different ways. It’s all done for you, and you can freelance how you use the game.
