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?”
