It is very important to keep our 5 year olds minds engaged, by asking questions they become curious, excited and prepare to face challenges. As a mother of two and I found simple and effective way to enhance their creativity by following the trick of asking them “Question of the Day” daily.
For 5-year-olds, what I felt is, every day is a new adventure, full of new ideas. Being a parent, teacher, or caretaker, asking a daily question will help them turn their ordinary thought into an opportunity to learn something new. Their power of imagining the things is used to be amazing and it’s our responsibility of sharing what makes them happy, giving new prompts help children express themselves and expand their world of wonder.
In this post, I’ve arranged 50 engaging questions that are perfect for starting innovative conversations with your 5 year old. You will also enjoy their surprising answers and fun as you dive into these creative questions together
