Set of We Connect Cards used in fun ice-breaker activity Poker Swap

Poker Swap

Fun trading game focused on ice-breaker questions.

  • Highly interactive
  • Generates energy
  • Empowering
  • Partner activity

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Distribute three random cards from a We Connect Cards deck to each person (or create your own set of conversation starters.)
  2. Invite each person to mingle with everyone else to compare and exchange cards – one for one – until they have three interesting questions in their hands.
  3. Please note that each card exchange must be mutual, and only one card can be traded with any one person.
  4. After several minutes, invite each person to partner with someone they would like to get to know better.
  5. Allow ample time for the pairs to use their cards to spark a great conversation.
