We are there for business and want to get back home. We didn't play any games and everyone knew each other already since the same parents showed up every month. Plus, if our group played a game first, it would be harder to rope them back in and to get down to business after that.
Have a social time after the meeting - go out for coffee or something!
I have no idea, our meetings are short and sweet, no decisions are ever made and discussions on held to a minimum, most folks just want to get outta there as fast as possible. Which I don't understand, in years our meetings have taken HOURS, this year the president has make it her mission to keep the meetings to an hour or less. Most of the time they are less than 30 min.
I'm looking for quick, easy ice breaker ideas for our monthly meeitngs. We had our first meeting least night and played a name game and it was a hit.
Ideas that don't take more then 10-15 minutes at the meeting are best
