			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m sorry it took me so long to upload another game, to make up for it, I&#8217;m doing it in video! <img src='http://www.melttheice.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  The chopstick game is a suitable ice breaker game for your meetings. To start it off, you can let them play in a free-for-all format, and the people are eliminated if they lose 3 times in a row. Leaving the last 2 person to do a showdown.

		<description><![CDATA[This is a fun and easy to prepare icebreaker for meetings. Guess the Acronyms in their groups. It can be quite humorous to see how the people can creatively come up with acronyms that they have no idea what it is. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-10 alignright" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="acronyms" src="http://melttheice.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/acronyms.jpg" alt="acronyms" width="300" height="221" />Game Description:</strong></p>
<p>This is a fun and easy meeting ice breaker by letting the people guess the full meaning of acronyms. It is suitable for all ages and meetings, though adults would probably be more knowledgeable. It can be rather humorous to see how the people can creatively come up with names when they have no idea what the acronym means. For Example, in stead of Doctor of Philosophy, PHD becomes Permanent Head Damage. Yes you will be surprised by the answers they give!</p>
<p><strong>Number of players:</strong></p>
<p>Any</p>
<p><strong>Materials Needed:</strong></p>
<p>A sheet of paper and marker for each group</p>
<p><strong>Noise Level:</strong></p>
<p>Low</p>
<p><strong>Neutrals:</strong></p>
<p>Game Master who will give out questions and scoring</p>
<p><strong>Preparation:</strong></p>
<p>Prepare a list of acronyms, like NASA, IKEA, NATO, SCUBA etc, you can easily get a list of acronyms by  googling &#8220;acronyms&#8221;. The difficulty of the acronyms will be dependent on the background and age group of the people.</p>
<p><strong>How To Play</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Players will be divided into groups of 3-5</li>
<li>Game master will shout out an acronym, for example, &#8220;HTML&#8221;</li>
<li>Group will have to discuss and write the correct answer into the piece of paper</li>
<li>Winning group will be the one with the most correct answers.</li>
</ol>
