Hot seat questions make great icebreakers and conversation starters. They’re ideal to help tweens and teens get to know one another quickly. With lighthearted, no-pressure hot seat questions, students can discover shared traits and likes.
Plus, visitors and new kids can feel welcome and included. They’ll realize the common ground they share with fellow attendees.
