A 90-Second Icebreaker for Teams That Need a Low-Pressure Start

When a group is quiet, start with one specific prompt and a short private think time. Ask: What small habit makes a meeting easier for you? Give everyone 30 seconds to write one sentence before anyone speaks.

Then invite pairs to compare answers for 45 seconds. Close by asking for two patterns, not personal details. This structure gives reflective participants time to prepare and keeps the activity useful for hybrid teams.
