101 fun questions for kids to get to know them better!

Great conversation starters to bond with your kids over dinner or a long car ride.

Funny questions to ask your grandkids over facetime!

Funny Questions To Ask Kids

Kids ask us 100’s of questions a day. Some studies even suggest that preschoolers ask around 300 questions a day!

Let’s turn the tables and ask our kids some questions. 

Some of these questions for kids will really delve into your child’s personality, therefore, getting to know them even better.

Others are just plain funny questions to let kids use their imagination.

I like to ask 3-4 of these questions when we are at the dinner table to really get the whole family involved. It is a fun time that we all enjoy.

These are also great questions to ask on long car rides. 

Kids love to be interviewed! It lets them know that you are interested in who they are. 

Don’t forget to play along and let your child know what your answer would be. Kids love to know that their parents have silly ideas too. 

So skip the “how was your day” and ask your kids these fun questions instead!
