Fun Questions for Kids
Tired of asking your kids questions and getting a blank response? Try these funny questions for kids that are guaranteed a response! Kids love funny questions. Save the infographics to look at later.
Questions instead of How was your day?
When my little boy runs up and greets me with a kiss and cuddle after pre-school, I am always tempted to ask “How was your day today?” or “How was school today?
In fact these were the questions I used to always ask him. However, I realised that the answers I was received were the same short responses every time. “Good”, or “Fine”. These type of questions don’t get kids talking.
“How was school today?” is a very open ended question, and pretty boring to be honest. Instead, I now ask a range of different funny questions, some which are actually really silly, that produce a reaction, and much more interesting and extensive answers.
These questions then encourage new and different questions, and our conversation goes on and on.
Here is a list of funny questions for kids I have used. The first list has simple, normal, easy questions that make kids actually think. The second list has silly and funny questions that sometimes don’t even actually make sense, but they seem to be get the questions with the best reactions and responses!
