Small Group Project

In my 20's small group at my church, we used the icebreaker ball that was used in class for one session. They actually had two of the inflatable balls. One was very general things that anyone in any walk of life could use and relate to. The second was a more church-focused one. It had questions that were very non-threatening to anyone of any Christian denomination, but it was still very useful for lightly getting to know each other as Christians. That week we happened to have group from YWAM Nashville visiting the church. It worked as an activity to let us get to know them and let them get to know us. The inflatable balls with icebreaker questions would work very well as an opener for almost any small group so long as it is a small enough group. I don't think that this would work well in too large of a group because by the time everyone had had a chance to speak even once it would have consumed all of the time available. In my small group, there were enough people to make it interesting, the same people aren't speaking the whole time, and yet there were few enough people that everyone was able to speak twice without taking more than the allotted time. Overall, I think that the icebreaker balls are a great discipleship tool.
