“Break the ice”

Meaning: to get something

started, to start a conversation or a gathering.

In the beginning nobody spoke at the company dinner last night. But I broke the ice by asking how everyone celebrated their New Years weekend.

I broke the ice by my joke while everyone was focus on finishing their homework. Is the example right?
