Fun questions teachers can use for quizzes: a collection of topics that get everyone excited and help people bond

How much do you know about your teacher? There might be unexpected sides they don’t show in class, or funny stories that will make you laugh.

Fun teacher-quiz questions are perfect not only for icebreakers with someone you’ve just met or class events, but also for livening up everyday conversations.

We’ve put together a variety of questions, from classics like “If you won 100 million yen in the lottery, what would you spend it on?” to quirky curveballs that will make you chuckle.

The moment you hear the teacher’s answers, both teachers and students are sure to smile together.

Feel free to use these as a reference!

Fun questions teachers can use for quizzes: A collection of conversation-sparking, bonding topics (1–10)

What would you like to be in your next life?NEW!

What would you like to be in your next life?NEW!

In conversations with friends, there are often scenes where you talk about your dreams for the future, like “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Try asking a similar question to a teacher, who is an adult close to you.

“If you were reborn, what would you like to be?” With this question, you might hear unexpected answers from your teacher—not only other jobs they’d like to try besides teaching, but also things like wanting to be a different animal or even a different gender.

Asking why they’d choose that, and what they’d do if they became that, could really broaden the topic and make the conversation lively.

If you compared your personality to an animal, what would it be?NEW!

If you compared your personality to an animal, what would it be?NEW!

I think the personality quiz that asks, “If you compared your personality to an animal, what would it be?” is a great question.

It naturally draws out an answer and conveys what kind of character someone has very well.

A cat-like free spirit, a dog-like friendly type, a sloth-like laid-back type… There are all kinds of animals, but which one would you compare yourself to? This is a fun either-or quiz that makes you excited to hear what the teacher would compare themselves to! It’d be kind of funny if an unexpected animal came up, wouldn’t it?

What drink would you like to come out of the faucet?NEW!

What drink would you like to come out of the faucet?NEW!

Speaking of what comes out of a faucet… it’s usually water or hot water, right? But there’s a special faucet that dispenses a delightful drink, overturning that common sense.

Did you know it once became a popular tourist attraction? You can find this faucet at Dogo Onsen in Ehime Prefecture.

Turn the tap, and out comes—mandarin orange juice! If this dream faucet could dispense anything, what would you want it to pour? Kids would probably say juice, but adults—especially teachers—might choose differently.

Coffee, tea, beer, or wine, perhaps? It’s a fun teacher quiz that also lets you learn your teacher’s favorite drink.

When was your first love?NEW!

When was your first love?NEW!

The quiz “When was your first love?” is sure to get everyone excited along with the teacher—and you might even see the teacher give a shy smile.

No matter how old you are, recalling your first crush and the stories from that time can feel a bit bittersweet.

Those who are experiencing their first love right now will probably be all ears, too.

It’s a question that naturally leads to more: What was the person like? What memorable moments were there? What’s their relationship like now? Seeing a side of the teacher you don’t usually get to see is sure to bring smiles to the whole classroom.

What do you do when you want to relax?NEW!

What do you do when you want to relax?NEW!

The question for the teacher’s private time, “What do you do when you want to relax?” is a special quiz that lets you learn about a side of the teacher you don’t usually see.

Everyone has different ways to relax, right? Diving into a hobby, taking a warm bath, being soothed by sweet desserts… You can imagine all kinds of answers.

You might hear a more mature response that’s a bit different from your own—or maybe they relax in the same way you do.

You could discover new perspectives and ways to unwind that might be useful as a reference.

What is something you feel hasn’t changed since you were a child?NEW!

What is something you feel hasn’t changed since you were a child?NEW!

When getting to know your teacher, don’t you want to know what they were like as a child? Perhaps there are things they still do the same way, or personality traits that haven’t changed.

A quiz that lets you learn about your teacher now and when they were little—like “What do you feel hasn’t changed about you since you were a child?”—is a question that can create a sense of closeness and bring you closer together.

You might even be surprised to find that your teacher shares the same side as you, and that some things don’t change even when you grow up.

Which hero did you admire as a child?NEW!

Which hero did you admire as a child?NEW!

Don’t you ever wonder what kind of heroes your teachers admired when they were young? Even those dependable, grown-up teachers you always see were once kids like you, and they must have had their own favorite heroes and characters.

Maybe it was timeless icons like Kamen Rider, Superman, Ultraman, or Sailor Moon.

Or perhaps it was athletes, their parents, historical figures, or a beloved mentor.

Learning about someone’s childhood heroes makes for a fun quiz that also lets you imagine what kind of child they were back then.
