The following is an installment in "Icebreakers 101: The College Edition", a series featuring "Ice Breaker's" designed to promote training awareness and capabilities in the corrections industry.
There are certain topics that will always evoke controversy. Chief among these related to the criminal justice field is capital punishment. This is a very simple icebreaker that explores this. Poll class on different crimes and how they should be executed. Use these questions.
One – The Individual Phase – let each person in the class write their answers. Two – The Group Phase – assemble answers and discuss individual answers. See if there is a consensus. Have groups deliver the answers. Three – The Class Phase – Have a recorder combine all answers and open the floor for discussion. Keep a handle on this, as the discussion can take a boisterous turn.
