“Never Have I Ever…” Prompts for Kids

“Never Have I Ever…” Prompts for Kids is a fun game (for people of all ages!) where each person takes turns creating or reading statements starting with the phrase, “Never have I ever…” Participants who have done the action raise their hands while others remain still. This creates an opportunity for sharing experiences and bonding.
It is essential to maintain respect, keep statements appropriate, and avoid sensitive subjects to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience for all. To facilitate more discussion and connection, offer an opportunity for people who have done the action to share about their experience. The prompts below can be used in a variety of settings and for a multitude of purposes. Make them part of a daily prompt or allow a class (or teammates) to use these prompts to get to know one another. These statements can be used or adapted for learners of diverse backgrounds. As always, consider which questions and topics may appeal to your anticipated audience so that you can inspire active engagement!
