Ultimate Icebreaker

I'm thinking to freeze a bubble gum or a gummy bear :)

Did this at youth camp. Filled gallon sized bag with water and froze a XL plain t-shirt. Did this competition outside near the lake and they were able to thaw out their blocks in the lake, beat on the ground, etc. They had a great time with this one!!

We tried it at winter camp, the shirt was so rough a freshman got bloody trying to put the frozen shirt on

This game is a little less intensive if you use old t-shirts and lightly dampen them, fold, and freeze rather than soaking them. Experiment with the right saturation - shirts should be really stiff and difficult to unfold but not rock solid.

One great way to make sure this lasts a bit longer is to tie up the tshirts prior to freezing...Also, make sure to get the shirts wet before putting in ice block. You can do this with just a shirt, and a large gallon ziplock...the extra work and making the knot unfreeze is epic.

I like this game, i played it in camp

Im gonna try this with my kids however i will freeze ribbons they will have to get it out and tie it in a gir's hair

i have seen this done without much water--even a soaked t-shirt that is folded and frozen can take a little while to manage to unfreeze enough to unfold and get on. if you are thinking of a whole outfit, this might be a good approach!

what do you suggest that we ket the kids brake the ice with?

I tried this game but instead froze T-Shirts in plastic water bottles cut in half, the problem was that the young people started mashing the bottles on the floor with the consequence that a number of T-Shirts ended up tearing. This activity was not a success at all. Even when i tried to slowly melt the T-Shirts in warm water they still tore. I suggest you either use old clothes which are to be thrown away or stay away from this activity.

this sounds interesting haha

I like the way this games sounds,but do I have to fold the clothes in the ice?

we did this one at a camp. It took too long for them to break the ice. We didn't give them anything to do it with though. They went outside and started smashing it on the pavement but it still was taking way too long!

how do they melt the ice or can they brake it

Haha! I did this one a long time ago! So much fun! Except we wore plastic gloves! So ya is suggest gloves!

ok thanks

Be sure they don't destroy the clothes! That happened in our group.

thats a bit weird......

CAN THEY USE TOOLS TO CHIP THE ICE OR JUST MELTING IT AWAY?

A good way to make it funner would be to freeze a whole outfit and then peoople have to try and put the clothes on!!! Good game though!

This game is soo awesome! i played it at my friend's fellowship, it really brings everyone together-- THE ULTIMATE ICEBREAKER(:

Trying this one tonight with t-shirts. Calling it: "Iced T's"

did this one, it went off!!!! kids went crazy outside, i suggest giving each teams a couple of pairs of heavy duty gloves, coz our boys destroyed their hands on the bitumen (numb hands grating ice on road)

Great Game. Used deep bowls instead of trays and it took forever for the blocks to freeze.

Always a great game!
