Starting Conversations After School

Sometimes the question “How was your day?” can lead to a very short answer! Trying different questions can help children open up about their experiences, friendships and feelings at school.

Some conversation starters you could try including:

• What made you smile today? 
• Who did you play or work with today? 
• What was something tricky you did today? 
• Did anyone show kindness to you today? 
• What was the funniest part of your day? 

• What are you looking forward to tomorrow? 

   

Creating small, regular opportunities to chat helps children feel connected, supported and confident sharing both the positives and challenges from their day.
