What are you packing to Paris?

What Are You Packing to Paris?

This icebreaker is perfect for quick introductions and a fun memory challenge. Each person says their name and an item they would pack for Paris that starts with the same first letter as their name. As the round continues, everyone repeats the names and items already mentioned before adding their own. It helps the group learn names fast and sparks plenty of laughs.

What You’ll Need

No materials required — just the group and a bit of creativity.

How to Play

  1. Have participants sit or stand in a circle.
  2. The first person starts: “I’m Adam, and I’m packing an apple.”
  3. The next person repeats the previous introduction and adds their own: “Adam is packing an apple, and I’m Bella, packing binoculars.”
  4. Continue around the circle. Each participant repeats all prior names and items in order, then adds theirs.
  5. If someone forgets part of the chain, the group can prompt or correct. Keep it light and encouraging.

Example Chain

  • Adam – apple
  • Bella – binoculars
  • Charlie – croissant
  • Dina – diary

Trainer Tips

  • Works best with 6–15 participants. For larger groups, split into smaller circles.
  • Encourage quirky items — unusual words stick in memory.
  • If recall becomes tough, allow a “one prompt” rule so the pace stays lively.
  • Great as an opening activity when people are meeting for the first time.
