Asking questions is a great way learn about a person. When you ask questions you show that you are interested in other people and you learn things from people’s answers that will make you a better friend.
(Play the game “I SPY” to practice asking questions.) Look around the room, think of something and then give the group a clue of what it is. If you picked a clock, you could say, “I’m thinking of something on the wall.” Everyone else asks a question to find out what it is like, What color is it? Which wall is it on? Until they guess what the person is thinking.
Students can then rehearse conversations in pairs. Have one student start by sharing one thing about him/herself such as, “I have a dog.” Their partner must then ask a question based on what the student said. The conversation should continue until the students have both asked and answered three questions. Each student should have a turn to be the person asking and answering the questions. The pairs should then share something new they learned about their partner with the rest of the group.
