Well, being a part of a group who had to think up something for the ice-breaking, I have learnt a new lesson today.
People on their first day are just too nervous to really play a game even if you ask them to.
My idea was pretty simple. I believe that creating systematic chaos is the best way to make people gel together. So we had come up with this idea of having a simple ball game. The instructions were to move around the room and throw the ball at a person who you want to play the game of truth-or-dare with.
I had imagined a room full of people enthusiastic about joining their first job. But it turned out to be otherwise. When we asked a guy to sing, all he could muster his courage and blurt out was that he was too nervous to do anything right then. Also, those fools were rooted to their places. They weren’t moving at all! 
… My ideas of systematic chaos just did not lift up.
Thinking retrospectively about the whole thing, I guess it was asking too much.
The other activity that we made them do was more fun. It involved the bollywood theme, so people enjoyed it.
