Break the ice

Meaning:

  • When you try to break the ice, you try to become friends with someone or initiate a conversation.
  • You make people who have not met before feel more relaxed and comfortable with each other.
  • You get something started.


Example sentence:

When I come to the classroom, I always try to break the ice with a few jokes. The students are then more willing to participate in the lesson.



Questions for you to answer:

  1. Are you the one who breaks the ice when you meet somebody for the first time?
  2. What are the best 'icebreakers' when you want to start a conversation?
  3. Do you always react positively to someone who tries to break the ice with you?
