How to use the icebreaker using GIFs template in Lucidspark

To play, have each participant choose a card with questions that they feel comfortable answering. Have the players duplicate their cards of choice and write their name on the top of their card. Next, the players will insert a GIF to answer each question on their card.

After the players have answered their questions, give the group time to view everyone else’s responses. Leave emoji reactions to other people’s GIFs, and use the chat feature to discuss. Use the time to connect with your team and get to know them, and everyone will feel more relaxed as you jump into the work of your meeting afterwards.
