How To Start Question of the Day

Getting started with, and finding time for, the Question of the Day isn't as difficult as you may think! There are a range of ways in which you can integrate Questions of the Day in a fun way.

For example, in the classroom, you could do this during arrival, as an attendance board, during morning meeting, or a cool-down activity after recess.  You could also use it as a time filler throughout the day, or an activity to do during dismissal with the kids. If the kids are having a bad day, ask a funny question. Young children always think it's the funniest thing if you mention bodily functions, but maybe that's not appropriate for the school day.

You can have meaningful conversations with simple questions at home, too. Ask the question of the day in the morning, before breakfast, or every night during dinner.  These questions would be great conversation starters for family members to do with kids. The best thing about these interesting questions is that the kids cannot have wrong answers. One-word responses, such as yes or no, is the best way to take the pressure off of young children. To get started with Question of the Day for kids, you will need the digital or printable cards (below), name cards, and yes/no labels (included) for their answer choice.

When you are ready to start Question of the Day in the classroom, find your favorite place to hang where the kids will record their one-word answers.

• Arrival – The kiddos enter the classroom, hang up their coats and bookbags, turn in their folders, and begin working on morning work.
• Morning Work – While they are doing morning tubs, or review work, my helper of the day calls a table over answer the question of the day.  He/she reads the question, and each student answers by placing their name card under yes or no.  When done, my helper gets the next table of kiddos.  This process takes about 10-15 minutes total, which is a perfect time filler while we are waiting for the breakfast eaters to straggle in.
• Morning Meeting – Now that the most time consuming part is already done, morning meeting is where all of the learning takes place.  I review the Question of the Day, either by reading it myself, or calling on a student to read it.  We then quickly do a count and comparison of each answer.  The kiddos can answer "how many", "which has more/less", and "how many more do we need to make yes equal to no (vice versa)".

After doing a count and compare with the answer graph, I call on a few students to explain their answer using a complete sentence.  For example, Abby might say "No, I would not climb a beanstalk, because there might be a giant at the top.".

I like to call on a student from each answer.  While Abby said yes, Colt said "Yes, I would climb a beanstalk, because there might be a cool castle at the top.". Having the different points of views expands the kiddos perspectives, and is an opportunity to teach them aboutrespecting others opinions – even when they are different from our own.

Daily Conversation Starters

It's true, the yes or no questions inside the Question of the Day digital and printable resource are not open-ended questions. However, these simple, funny questions are actually thoughtful questions that can work as daily conversation starters. They are also good questions for journal writing topics.

How can a close-ended question lead to a fun conversation? Next time you ask a child if they would live in a castle all by themselves, let them first respond with yes or no. Then, lots of questions can be asked based on their response. Start with asking why they said yes or no. It's a excellent way to build language within a classroom community or the whole family.

Printable and Digital Questions of the Day Kids Love

If you are teaching online, tutor through virtual learning, or teach remote learning, you will LOVE the awesome questions on the digital slides as conversation starters. You will not need a special mobile app for this fun activity. The digital version included in the Question of the Day resource will be the ultimate list of great questions for kids in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade.

Question of the Day kids also expands on math and writing lessons. For example, simply by answering the questions, your kiddos create a personalized graph that is all about them.  This, friend, is where the magic happens!

When the kiddos see that you want to know more about them, they are more than happy to share their thoughts and own feelings. Once they share their thoughts, and realized they have a visual representation (the completed graph), they instantly become eager to count and compare.

Now, you are suddenly the rock star teacher leading them through a math lesson that they didn't see coming.  Better yet, you have now inspired them to read, talk, and write or draw about that same topic!

Check out how Ms. Pennell uses this Question of the Day in her classroom.

She cut her PreK kids' pictures out, added magnetic tape to the back, and has them move their picture under the yes/no section of the board.  You can see she has her question cards hanging on a command hook off to the side.
