Breaking the ice means starting a conversation when people don’t know each other yet. Imagine you and your friend are at a party, but you haven’t talked before, it feels like you're both standing on thick ice, not sure how to move. When one person says something friendly, like ‘Hey, do you like pizza?’, that’s the first step in breaking the ice!
Examples
- When you start talking to someone at a party, you’re breaking the ice.
- Your teacher asks the class ‘Who wants to go first?’, that’s breaking the ice.
