Use this list of would-you-rather questions for kids to keep your daughter talking when "How was school today?" just doesn’t cut it anymore. Whether you’re sitting around the dinner table, driving in the car, or waiting in line at the grocery store, these fun questions can turn spans of silence into meaningful conversations. Just make sure both of you answer the questions—your daughter is more likely to open up if you do the same.
2019 Girl of the Year™ Blaire Wilson™ plays a similar game in Blaire: Book One with her best friend, Thea. While they paint trim on the barn’s windows, the two of them make up This or That? questions to pass the time and have fun together. So, after you and your girl have answered the questions below, try making up your own!
