Frequently asked questions

Why use food this or that questions?

Food is something everyone has an opinion about, so these questions get even shy people talking. They are quick, positive and safe for all ages, which makes them a reliable choice for classrooms, team meetings and family dinners.

How can teachers use these questions in class?

Read a pair and ask students to move to one side of the room for each option. Ask a few students to share why. It works as a warm up, a brain break or a simple way to practise giving reasons in a friendly setting.

Can I use these at a dinner party?

Absolutely. Ask a pair between courses and let guests defend their choice. Food questions fit naturally around a meal, start lively but friendly debates and help guests who do not know each other well find something in common quickly.
