Questions

What is a good icebreaker question?

One anyone can answer in under a minute without feeling exposed, but that still gets a specific answer: a place, a story, a name. “What’s the best thing you ate this week?” beats “What do you like to eat?”

Which questions work for work meetings?

The Work questions avoid family, age, money, health, religion and politics, so they are safe for a new team. Quick questions suit big meetings and video calls.

Can I use these in class?

Yes. The Kids category is written for ages 6 to 12 and never assumes anything about a child’s family. Put the picker full screen on the board.
