Everyone’s always looking for easy and fun icebreakers.  Here’s one I like to use when I want group members to discover something new about their coworkers.  It’s called Two Truths and a Lie.

1. Ask everyone to think of 3 little-known facts about themselves.  Two of them should be true and one a lie.
2. During the course of introductions I ask people to share their three “facts.”
3. To add a touch of competition, I ask the rest of the group to guess which one of the facts is a lie.
4. After everyone has recorded his or her guess, the liar reveals the truth.
5. At the end, we tally up the number of correct guesses and declare the winner.

The best part of this activity is when long-time co-workers find new and interesting connections they have.

This activity is easy, low-risk, and fun.  Give it a try.
