The Fast Fact Recall Activity

This activity is an excellent ice breaker game to and solidify newly formed teams. The fast fact recall activity is a great way to help teams get to know each other and build memory skills.

Each team member answers the facilitator’s questions about a “fact” of theirs, such as favorite vacation destination, must-see show, etc.

Ask everyone the same question and have each person give their answer to the group. It’s best to use questions that generate simple answers.

Asking for a book, movie, or show recommendation works well. Asking people their favorite food, color, or another favorite thing also works.

Just do your best to ask a question that generates a fact about that person.

Once everyone answers, ask each person to recall someone else’s response. The catch is that they can’t use a fact that someone else has already mentioned.

The game gets harder as the number of available facts gets smaller. If someone is stumped, the group can help them out.

This keeps the game moving and ensures that everyone stays engaged.
