"What if..." questions are fascinating! Unique prompts that liven up conversations (21–30)
If you could become a professional athlete, which sport would you choose?NEW!
Only a select few can become professional athletes, but it’s free to imagine! If you could become an athlete, in which sport would you like to excel? From universally known sports like baseball and soccer to skateboarding and breaking, which have become Olympic events, there are great options.
Have fun thinking about it while picturing yourself shining and winning a gold medal.
You might even discover what sports others like and make new sports friends!
If you could do any job you wanted, what would you like to do?NEW!
When choosing a job, the first thing we usually consider is whether it suits us.
Taking a job you’re not suited for only leads to struggle, so it’s normal to keep in mind whether you can do it and stick with it when making your choice.
However, if we’re using occupations as a conversation topic, let’s deliberately set all that aside! Talking with each other about the jobs we admire is fun and can broaden our dreams.
It might even give you a chance to realize how you truly feel.
If you could live either in outer space or underwater, which would you choose?NEW!
In any era, space is full of fascination for humanity, isn’t it? Until now, it’s been seen as a realm only astronauts could reach, but it seems the future where ordinary people can travel to space isn’t far off.
Space and the underwater world—once thought to be mere fantasies.
If you could live in one, which would you choose? Have you ever imagined being able to live freely in the water, just like whales and dolphins gracefully swimming beneath the waves? A life spent in an undersea castle or buildings like the Dragon Palace of legend, encountering marine creatures you don’t usually get to see in everyday life—just imagining it is wonderful, isn’t it? If you could live in one, which would you choose?
If you could go on a date with your favorite idol, who would you choose?NEW!
Who’s your oshi? Whether it’s an idol, an athlete, a celebrity, or an anime character, in modern times their presence is indispensable as a source of energy for living.
So how about this dreamy discussion theme: If you could go on a date with your oshi, who would it be? You might imagine it sometimes, but it can be a bit embarrassing to talk about with someone, right? But if everyone chats together, you’ll forget those feelings and get all excited and thrilled! While showing off what makes your oshi great, let’s also come up with a fun date plan.
If you were to form a band with famous musicians, who would you choose and what would the lineup be like?NEW!
This is a dream-inspiring conversation topic.
If you love music, you could easily spend a whole day mulling it over! Assuming you’re a musician yourself, imagine who you’d like to play with or form a band with.
Think about the lineup too—like the classic four-piece or a three-piece! It really gets lively when the members are music lovers, and since this topic naturally leads to talking about favorite bands and songs, it’s also a great chance to connect with people who share your interests!
