It is always a challenge to try to stay engaged with our kids. We like both of these questions as we all answer them вЂ“ kids and adults вЂ“ and they are great with extended family or friends over. In our house right now there are two questions that we talk about most often around the dinner table, or the breakfast table, or the car driving to practice, or whenever we have those moments to get caught up with each othersвЂ™ lives (we borrowed them from a radio talk show):

Tell me about three different times you used your pencil today at school.

f you could switch seats with anyone in the class, who would you trade with? Why?.

Is there anyone in your class who needs a time-out?.

If you got to be the teacher tomorrow, what would you do?.

Who is the funniest person in your class? Why is he/she so funny?.

Who in your class do you think you could be nicer to?.

Tell me something good that happened today.

Who would you like to play with at recess that youвЂ™ve never played with before?.

If an alien spaceship came to your class and beamed someone up, who would you want them to take?.

If I called your teacher tonight, what would she tell me about you?.

Tell me a weird word that you heard today.

Where is the coolest place at the school?.

If you could choose, who would you like to sit by in class? (Who would you NOT want to sit by in class? Why?).Tell me something that made you laugh today.What was the best thing that happened at school today?

There are a couple of lists that I have found and used that I think are useful (I donвЂ™t love all the questions вЂ“ but they get your mind working about different ways to have the after school, or dinner conversation). In our home we are continually trying to make a conscious effort for some different conversation starters. We all easily fall into the trap, with our kids, our co-workers and our friends of asking вЂњhow are you doing?вЂќ and knowing the only really acceptable answer is вЂњfineвЂќ. It is the challenge of asking questions that specific, but are still open-ended so to avoid one word answers. Apparently students all over the world are doing nothing at school, but not to worry, it is fine. All parents have had these conversations.
