Ask Questions That Spark Curiosity

Let's Do This

A simple question can open the door to deeper thinking, creativity, and connection. Instead of giving answers right away, try asking open-ended questions that make young people think and explore ideas in new ways.

Try this:

• Ask “why” and “how” questions instead of yes-or-no ones.
• Encourage young people to explain their reasoning, even if they’re unsure.
• Use prompts like these: “If animals could talk, what do you think they’d say?” or “How would you solve the problem of too much trash in the world?”

Stay Inspired

The right question at the right time can help a young person see their potential—and the world—differently.
