One I use in groups of eight or more as an ice-breaker is to make a 'bingo' card for each person in the group. Each card has a different set of unembarrassing personal attributes in it eg "Was born abroad", "Has a pet", "Has been skiing", "Enjoys cooking", "Speaks another language", "plays football", "has never bought a lottery ticket", "hates mayonnaise", "loves EastEnders", "rides a bike", etc.
The number of boxes on the card should be between 6 and 20 depending on how many people in the group (roughly the number of boxes = 3/4 the number in the group).
People have to circulate around and get their colleagues to sign a box that applies to them. Each person can only sign each card once. It gets them talking and finding out about each other. You can have a small prize for the person who completes their card first, or has completed most boxes by the end of the time allocated. You can get people to work as individuals or as pairs.
Be careful to choose facts that are not intrusive about family, health, money, etc but I guess you know that....

Any one who's mobile phone goes off has to sing a song, dance or tell a joke.
Schedule the meetings for odd times, like 9:38.
Teach people simple origami models to make with the agenda.

Do a quick draw with the mobile phone. Put your phone number on it, On go have them call you. First person gets a prize. THEN tell them to shut them off for the rest of the session now that they have them out.
Have them do one minute dating to introduce themselves to each other.
Have them create their own games and energizers and the best team wins.
