Function: Breaking the ice literally means breaking the ice, which aims to make trainees get rid of nervousness, strangeness, alienation and embarrassment, so as to quickly get familiar with the surrounding environment, quickly enter the training state and integrate into the whole team.
The success of breaking ice is very important for the whole training to achieve the expected effect. But breaking ice can't be limited to doing an ice-breaking project. Breaking ice should include three meanings:
(1) The relationship between students has thawed, and the atmosphere of the team and the relationship between team members have reached a harmonious state.
(2) The trainees' understanding of outward bound training itself has changed from ignorance, prejudice and ignorance to the psychological state of correctly treating outward bound training successfully.
(3) The relationship between trainees and development coaches has changed from ignorance, distrust, anxiety and even non-acceptance (psychologically). By breaking the ice, students can have a correct view of the coach, recognize the coach and accept the coach.
Therefore, breaking ice is not just a simple thing to do one or two kinds of ice-breaking activities. If it is a two-day and one-night training, effective ice-breaking is generally carried out in the first half of the day, that is, through a period of running-in and contact, interest and dependence are gradually generated!
At the same time, the length and effect of ice-breaking time are closely related to students' mentality, psychological expectation and overall level and quality. Methods should also be targeted.
