Funny Questions to Ask Kids
Do you have a child who’s always full of questions?
The average preschooler can ask anywhere from 200 to 300 questions per day and as many as 40,000 questions by the age of 5. And if you’re their go-to person for answers, the constant barrage of questions can be a little wearing.
So why not turn the tables and ask some fun questions of your own?
Asking kids funny questions can be a great way to get to know them better.
The best thing about having some funny questions to ask kids is that there are no wrong answers.
Asking random questions is a favorite family tradition at our house. Trading funny questions can be a great way to pass the time on a road trip, while you’re waiting at the doctor’s office or just have a good conversation with your kids around the dinner table.
If you’re looking for some great conversation starters, here are some of the funniest questions to ask kids.
