Check out more summer would you rather questions for the end of the school year!

Please remember that not all children want to share right away.  Forcing an answer will be uncomfortable all around and may make some kids feel pressured and ultimately they will shut down.

That is obviously the opposite of what you want!  Try to make these questions as fun and relaxed as possible.

You could incorporate them into your daily routine, like right before lunch or as a way to fill a small space of time that may not be enough for a lesson. 

It is also paramount to have positive reactions to any answers you may receive, not matter how strange (and they might be super strange!) they may end up being!

In the end, kids are developing into their individual personalities and all deserve to be treated with dignity and kindness.  Letting them express themselves freely is as important as any subject matter they learn about.

Lastly, enjoy learning about your students and appreciate this precious time that you all have together!

And as always, you’ve got this!
