Reviews

Cards help students build conversation skills and rapport. Customers said they're "engaging," "age-appropriate," and require minimal prep. Great for small groups, lunch bunches, and classroom activities. "Questions made students think." Some noted they'd appreciate more cards for year-long use. One mentioned some questions are common but found value given affordability.

  • Prompts are age-appropriate, engaging, and easy to adapt for different social skills goals.
  • Encouraged students to think and share while seeing what they had in common with their peers.
  • Goes beyond basic questions and has sparked some great conversations.

Great Variety of Questions

My students are getting the hang of "would you rather" questions. I liked that the questions made students think and weren't just quick and easy to answer.

Easy to use, low prep activity

Loved using this resource at the beginning of the year and even as a time filler at the end of the day. Encouraged students to think and then share their ideas, opinions and thoughts while also seeing what they had in common with their peers.

I love getting to know you cards. The students love to use them and I can avoid an "interview like approach" and make it fun and engaging. I even answer the questions.

loved using these for small group lunch bunches! Kids were engaged and loved having pre-made prompts to support with social interactions.

I enjoy using these when we only have a minute or two before a transition. I can read the card and students can quietly respond to someone standing next to them in line.

Love these. I used these in the first week of lunch bunch and small group counseling sessions.

I appreciate the different categories of questions here. It goes beyond some of the basic questions you see in "get to know you" questions and has sparked some great conversations. I have used these mostly with upper elementary, but you could pick a few out and use this for younger grades also. I have used it in individual counseling and groups.
