25 Funny Questions to Get to Know Your Team

laughing_funny_questionsIf you want to get to know your team better, the first thing you need to do is ask them about their past, their passions, and their purpose for being there.

But while that conversation will help you understand why they are on the team and what they plan to contribute, it will likely not provide details about their personality or about their unique preferences and perspectives.

For deeper connections, and to paint a more accurate picture of the people you are working with and what makes them laugh, what makes them cry, and what rings their bell, you need to have a list of funny questions to ask.

The below list of 25 funny questions is great for your next meeting, your next commute with a colleague, or your next group cookout.

Print them out on separate sheets of paper.

Post one each day in your office workroom.

Email a few to your coworkers each Friday.

Find a way to ask more entertaining and funny questions, and you will be surprised to learn what your teammates will share when they answer…

Consider using some of the following:

1.  At which store would you like to max-out your credit card?

2.   Which storybook/cartoon character turns you on the most?

3.   What was your favorite TV show when growing up?

4.   Choose a movie title for the story of your life.
