Discussion Cards

Cut out the cards below. Put them in a stack. Use them to begin discussion with your classmates. Draw one card. Give your answer. Pass the card to your right around the group. Listen as each person gives his/her answer to the same question. Be ready to comment on each person’s answer. Continue through the stack of cards in the same way.

What is a “blended family”? Do you, or do you know anyone, who lives in one?

What is your favorite kind of cookie – bought and homemade?

Do you have any special talents or abilities? What are you good at?

Have you ever given a gift, or given something you thought was special, and the person to whom you gave it acted like they didn’t want it or got rid of it? How did you feel about that?

If a person is “enterprising,” what does that mean?

If you needed to earn some money, what would you do? How much would you charge to do it?

Have you always lived in this town and gone to school here? If not, where did you come here from? How is it alike/different?

Do you have siblings (brothers and sisters)? If yes, tell something about them.
