Epic Yes or No Questions to Ask (Kids, Adults, Couples)

Yes or no questions are simple prompts to help start conversations. They’re great for getting to know people you just met. This could be a loved one, adults, kids, or coworkers. To play the game, simply ask the question and allow the other person to respond with “yes” or “no” to the prompt. For example, “Are you currently working at your dream job, yes or no?”

Let’s start playing!

Expert advice: According to this study, laughter truly is a medicine! Playing a “would you rather” game might seem cheesy at first. Although a few laughs later and you may be improving your overall health.

My experience asking these questions…

I wouldn’t say that growing up I had the most friends… I wasn’t shy, exactly… I just didn’t know how to connect with others in away that was going to develop a relationship. Something that would last longer than just a short conversation. I wanted friends, pretty badly…

Learning questions like these certainly helps to expedite the process… They’re fast. It’s not the entire relationship that will be built on them. But it sure does help to get it going!

Here’s my BEST tips to use these questions…

Remember a few that you like – Keep a couple of your favorite questions in mind. Try to remember a few for when the moment strikes you.
Don’t forget these as a tool – Whenever there’s a dull moment, whether you’re with a spouse or family… pull out a few of these questions.
Don’t take it too seriously – Especially when it comes to spouses or those you might be romantically interested in. This isn’t a time to start digging! Have fun, make it silly, and don’t take it all too seriously.
