Dear Priya,
Namaskar.
I have passed through three stages of imparting training. Normally age range of my trainees extends from 20s to 50s.
In the first phase I used to do a lot of labour to collect upto date materials and used to make a very scholarly presentation. But so far as effectiveness is concerned, I was not satisfied.
so I changed the approach. I studied very seriously the trainees' perspectives. It generated great deal of heat in the class. Here too I was not so effective.
So I changed my approach again. In this phase I use to make quick organisation of materials before the class which just come to my mind by free association. The presentation style is such that I make the participants say what I like to say. My job in fact becomes a job of co ordinator and abstractor. This approach I find that it is very effective with minimum strain on my part.
Now your problem is ice breaking. In the introductory class i take their introduction ,introduce the institution, programme, facilties available and whatever is relevant. Before leaving the class I just drop "look! your neighbour is smiling," So you can guess the next. this is my innovative ice breaking device and it works all through out the programme.
Others may have their own.
regards

Dear Priya,
You may please refer to a book "More games Trainers Play" by Edward E.Scannell and John W.Newstrom. It is available with Tata McGraw-Hill Pub. New Delhi. 21 Ice-Breakers are listed. (With other 11 Sections.) You can select from them as per the composition of the participants.
