QUESTIONS FOR KIDS • 64 Questions for Discussions, Writing, and Speeches

Questions for Kids is an awesome collection of 64 questions that can be used for classroom discussions for morning warm-ups. You can also use them before lunch or any time you have a few extra minutes in your busy schedule. They are ideal to use as springboards for writing assignments or for extemporaneous speeches.

Before you begin, we suggest you photocopy, laminate (for added durability), and cut the task cards apart.

The questions do not require background research. They are open-ended with no right or wrong answers. Used on a regular basis, these questions will help your students:

• express their feelings

• gain confidence in speaking in front of the class

• present and share their responses with classmates
