Every day, we provide five new primary questions and five new secondary questions for you to choose from.

We spend a lot of time thinking through these questions. We try to match them to grade levels, interests, and what tends to spark connection and conversation. But here’s the truth we come back to again and again…

You know your students better than we ever will.

And that matters.

Because even the best question on paper can land differently depending on the group in front of you.

Some questions might open the door to great conversation. Others might unintentionally turn into debates. And a few might touch on topics that feel a little too personal or sensitive for your classroom community right now.

That’s where your discretion comes in.

Before you put a question up on the board or project it on the screen, take a quick pause and ask yourself:

Will this spark connection or competition?
Could this shift into debate instead of dialogue?
Is this a topic my students are ready to engage with respectfully?
Does this feel right for this group, on this day?

Because timing matters. Group dynamics matter. Even the mood of the room matters.

There are days when a light, fun question is exactly what your class needs. And there are other days when a slightly deeper question can open the door to meaningful reflection and connection. The key is knowing which is which.

And that’s something no resource, no program, and no script can fully determine for you.

Only you can.

One small shift that can make a big difference is how you present the question.

Inside the searchable database, we offer individual question graphics that you can search and download. Whether you’re using the free version or First Five Plus, you can still access and use these images.

Sometimes, instead of showing all five questions at once, it can be more effective to project just one.

One question can create focus.
One question can lower overwhelm.
One question can invite more students into the conversation.

It slows things down in the best way.

So give yourself permission to adjust.

To skip one.
To swap one.
To come back to a question later.
Or to highlight just one that you know will land right.

Because when the question fits the room, and the way it’s presented meets the moment…

That’s when the connection starts to take hold.
