As a parent, do you
feel like you ask the same question of your child each and every day upon their
arrival at home? Even kids struggle with hearing "How as your day
today?" over and over. To achieve the same goal but to do it in another
way, try asking the following questions. You may be surprised at what you
learn!
1. What was the
best thing that happened at school today? (What was the worst thing that
happened at school today?)
2. Tell me
something that made you laugh today.
3. If you could
choose, who would you like to sit by in class? (Who would you NOT want to sit
by in class? Why?)
4. Where is the
coolest place at the school?
5. Tell me a weird
word that you heard today. (Or something weird that someone said.)
6. If I called your
teacher tonight, what would she tell me about you?
7. How did you help
somebody today?
8. How did somebody
help you today?
9. Tell me one
thing that you learned today.
10. When were you
the happiest today?
11. When were you
bored today?
12. If an alien
spaceship came to your class and beamed someone up, who would you want them to
take?
13. Who would you
like to play with at recess that you've never played with before?
14. Tell me
something good that happened today.
15. What word did
your teacher say most today?
16. What do you
think you should do/learn more of at school?
17. What do you
think you should do/learn less of at school?
18. Who in your
class do you think you could be nicer to?
19. Where do you
play the most at recess?
20. Who is the
funniest person in your class? Why is he/she so funny?
21. What was your
favorite part of lunch?
22. If you got to
be the teacher tomorrow, what would you do?
23. Is there anyone
in your class who needs a time-out?
24. If you could
switch seats with anyone in the class, who would you trade with? Why?
