New Years

### Intro

As the end of the year approaches, it’s the perfect time to incorporate New Year’s themed icebreaker questions into your upcoming event. Using a “This or That” format can add an element of fun and excitement while encouraging guests to share their opinions and experiences related to the holiday season. In this guide, I will discuss how to incorporate New Years themed This or That questions into your next event, along with some ideas on different themes of questions you can use to keep it engaging and entertaining.

How to incorporate New Years themed This or That questions

To incorporate New Years themed This or That questions into your event, follow these steps:

1. Prepare a list of New Year’s related questions beforehand that are fun, light-hearted, and relevant to the holiday season. You can find inspiration from browsing online forums, social media, or by brainstorming with colleagues and friends.

2. Print out the questions on cards or display them on a screen or poster board. Encourage your guests to form small groups of 3-5 people and take turns asking each other the questions. You can also create a rotation system where each group moves on to the next question after a set amount of time (e.g., 2-3 minutes).

3. Make sure everyone has a chance to answer each question and listen actively to their responses. Encourage follow-up questions, comments, and discussions that build on the initial answers. You can also share your own insights and opinions about New Year’s traditions and celebrations to keep the conversation flowing.

4. After everyone has had a chance to answer all the questions, gather your guests in a larger group and ask them to share their favorite or most surprising answers. You can also use this opportunity to highlight any commonalities or connections that emerged during the activity.

5. Consider using some of the insights or stories that came up during the “This or That” icebreaker as a springboard for further conversations and activities throughout the day. For example, you could organize a trivia game based on New Year’s traditions or create a photo booth with props inspired by the holiday season.

Ideas on different themes of questions

To keep your New Years themed icebreaker questions fresh and engaging, you can explore different themes and categories that are relevant to the holiday season. Here are some ideas:

• Resolutions: Ask questions related to guests’ goals, aspirations, and habits for the new year (e.g., “What is your most challenging resolution?” or “Do you prefer making resolutions at the beginning of the year or setting goals throughout the year?”).

• Traditions: Ask questions about New Year’s traditions from around the world, or about guests’ personal family traditions (e.g., “What is your favorite New Year’s tradition?” or “Do you have any unique New Year’s traditions in your family?”).

• Reflections: Ask questions that encourage guests to reflect on the past year and look forward to the new one (e.g., “What was your most memorable moment of the past year?” or “What are you most looking forward to in the new year?”).

• Entertainment: Ask questions related to New Year’s entertainment, such as music, movies, and TV shows (e.g., “What is your favorite New Year’s Eve movie?” or “Which artist or band do you hope to see perform on New Year’s Eve?”).

• Food: Ask questions about New Year’s food traditions, such as special dishes, desserts, and drinks (e.g., “What is your favorite New Year’s meal?” or “Do you have any lucky foods you like to eat on New Year’s Day?”).

By incorporating these different themes of questions into your New Years themed icebreaker activity, you can keep your guests engaged and entertained while also fostering a sense of community and shared interest. So why not give it a try and see how it can enhance your next event!
