Having fun with your church group can be a great way to keep them focused on the message. Often times, we think of physical icebreakers, but virtual icebreakers for church groups can be just as effective and fun.
Two Truths and a Lie
Whether you’re a church group or a business team, you can use Two Truths and a Lie to help your coworkers get to know each other better. It’s an easy game that doesn’t require any special equipment or a large amount of time.

Two Truths and a Lie is a classic game that is sure to be fun. It’s ideal for groups of 10 or more people, but can be played by larger groups as well.
You start by giving everyone an opportunity to introduce themselves. Each person begins by saying two true things about themselves. You might say that you live in South Dakota, that you own a pet cat, or that you love chocolate.
After the person has made their statement, the group tries to guess what is a lie. It can be a simple statement like “I don’t like chocolate,” or it can be a statement that’s completely outlandish. Your goal is to make the statement not obvious, but not completely false either.
Mad Libs
Whether you’re hosting a cocktail party or planning an office bash, Mad Libs are a fun way to get to know your colleagues. If you’re not up for an actual physical game, try using the internet to your advantage. You can have a virtual game on display in a group chat or a paper version that can be passed around for group participation.
The best part of Mad Libs is that you can get a group of people to participate, without any real risk of embarrassment. They will have to take turns pulling a few words from a pool of words. The fun is in seeing who gets the most out of the exercise. The only downside is that you’ll have to keep the game going or you’ll run out of words.
It isn’t surprising that you’ll see a lot of competition for your prize money. The best part is that they will have a lot of fun doing so. A lot of the time they will find that they can actually learn something from each other in the process.
Bible squeeze relay
Whether you’re planning a Bible study group or a church social gathering, a virtual icebreaker is a great way to get everyone to mingle and learn something new. Icebreakers can be used to introduce a new verse or passage and can help members share important information about themselves.
The Bible Squeeze Relay is a great icebreaker that encourages a team effort to read a Bible verse together. It’s a low-competition game that requires two teams, which works well for church groups that don’t meet face to face.
The Verse Assembly game is another great icebreaker that will require teamwork and a little bit of creativity. To start, divide your group into two teams. The first team should have two teens sitting behind each other in chairs. They will be responsible for assembling a verse. The other team can observe, but must not touch or alter anything on the team’s side of the equation.
For the best results, the game should be about five minutes long. The main benefit of an icebreaker is the social interaction that will occur, so it’s best to make sure that everyone has an equal chance to participate. Depending on your group size, it may be necessary to split the group into two circles.
Prezi or other visually appealing presentation format
Whether you’re looking to create virtual icebreakers for church groups or other presentations, it’s important to choose a presentation tool that will suit your needs. There are two main options: Prezi and PowerPoint. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. There’s a reason why both of these programs have received major updates in the last year.
If you are looking to create fast and polished presentations, PowerPoint may be your best option. However, if you are looking for a tool with interactive features, Prezi may be the better choice. Unlike PowerPoint, Prezi allows you to zoom in and out of a presentation, allowing you to closely examine text. You can also link third-party apps to a presentation. However, Prezi provides a very limited amount of chart choices. This may be a problem for those unfamiliar with the software, who might get overwhelmed by the complexity of a Prezi presentation.
On the other hand, if you’re looking to create presentations that are interactive and have a more humorous feel, Prezi might be the better choice. However, you will have to pay a monthly fee for a premium subscription.
