3 fun facts about me: example sets

Lots of icebreakers ask for three facts at once. The trick is to mix types: one funny, one interesting and one about a hobby or favorite thing. That way you don't sound like a resume or a stand-up set. Here are four ready-made sets you can adapt:

For work:
1. My first job was at an ice cream shop.
2. I've worked remotely from five different countries.
3. I keep a plant on my desk named Kevin.

For school:
1. I have a pet bearded dragon named Toast.
2. I've been learning Korean on my own for a year.
3. I can do a cartwheel, but only to the left.

For a party:
1. I've never seen a single Star Wars movie.
2. I once tried to pay for groceries with my library card.
3. I've slept in an ice hotel.

For two truths and a lie: use two real facts and one believable fake. "I've been skydiving, I'm a twin, I've never broken a bone." The best lie is boring; the best truth sounds made up.

5 fun facts about me: how to build a list

4. A funny habit or story: "I've walked into a glass door more than once."

How to pick a good fun fact about yourself

The best fun fact isn't the most impressive one. It's the one that's easy to remember and gives people something to ask about. A few rules help:

• Be specific. "I like dogs" is a fact. "My dog has more Instagram followers than I do" is a fun fact.
• Keep it short. One sentence, ten seconds. Save the full story for the follow-up.
• Match the room. Silly works at a party; a hobby or travel fact works better at work.
• Skip the brag. Awards and salaries land badly. A small, odd detail lands well.
• Make sure it's true. You'll get asked about it, so pick something you can talk about.
