For parents, teachers and youth leaders
Teens rarely open up when asked directly. A would you rather question is an easier door: they answer as a joke, then explain, and suddenly you are having a real conversation.
- On the drive to practice or at dinner, one question per trip is often enough to start talking about school, friends or plans.
- In advisory or homeroom, use a few as a warm-up before a discussion, or to form groups based on answers.
- At youth group or camp, put the page up in the evening and have cabins vote against each other.
