Hot Seat
• Designated “hot seat” in front of the room. 2 minutes to
ask the seated person any question in a rapid-fire
succession. The hot seat member is allowed to say “pass”
for any too personal questions — avoid asking anything too
personal, as it can ruin the fun.
Sample questions:
• “What would you do if you won the lottery?”
• “If you could meet and have dinner with any person who
ever lived, who would it be and why? What would you ask
that person?”
• “What three words would you use to describe yourself?”
• Questions can be funny, too, such as:
• “What was your most embarrassing moment?”
• “What was your proudest moment?”
• “What was the silliest thing you’ve ever done?”
