Fun questions teachers can use in quizzes: A roundup of icebreakers to get everyone excited and closer (11–20)
When was your first love?
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.
If you compared your personality to an animal, what would it be?
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 do you do when you want to relax?
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?
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?
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.
What subject did you like when you were a child?NEW!
Different people tend to have different strengths and weaknesses in the various subjects they studied at school.
This activity asks you to guess which subjects someone was good at and which ones they liked, so you can sense differences in their personalities.
Since being good at a subject doesn’t always match liking it, the prediction can be tricky when there’s a gap.
Using that as a starting point, it’s also a great idea to shift the conversation to topics about the subjects themselves—like what aspects they enjoyed.
It might be a chance to look back on the time when you were learning.
If you could be invisible for just one day, what would you do?NEW!
Psychic powers are a staple element in stories, and many people have probably imagined abilities they admire.
Among such powers, let’s focus on the ability to become invisible and try to predict what someone would want to do with it.
It could be exciting to consider this not only from the questioner’s personality but also to see how close it is to what the respondent wants to do.
You could also segue into topics like other possible uses, making it a fun conversation starter as well.
What’s a song you always sing at karaoke?NEW!
If you’re a music lover, here’s a question you should definitely try asking: have them guess your go-to karaoke song.
If it’s someone you’ve been to karaoke with many times, they might get it right.
Otherwise, they’ll likely have to deduce it from your generation and musical tastes.
What makes this question tricky is that the songs you usually listen to aren’t necessarily the ones you sing.
Even younger people sometimes have a surprising Showa-era classic as their signature number.
If you’ve got an unexpected go-to song like that, try asking this question and surprise everyone.
What is something you’d like to try eating at least once?NEW!
There are rare delicacies from around the world, bizarre foods, and ultra-luxury ingredients that are hard to get—things you don’t normally eat and don’t necessarily want to eat every day, but might want to try at least once in your life, right? Think of those slightly unusual foods and turn them into a quiz! Even people who know you well probably won’t guess the answer easily…
Which is why everyone will likely throw out all kinds of guesses, making it a lively, fun question to get the conversation going.
What do you do on your days off?NEW!
Everyone spends their days off differently: some use the time to rest, while others fully indulge in their hobbies.
This activity aims to glean personality traits, behavior patterns, and what people value in their daily lives from how they spend their holidays.
Even if someone uses the time for rest, have them consider the finer details of how they rest; if it’s about hobbies, have them think through the specifics—encouraging deeper reflection.
If you discover shared ways of spending time, that can become a great springboard for a lively conversation.
