Hi! I was searching for the same kind of lighthearted ideas, and The Littlest Thistle turned out to be a goldmine, especially the page
https://www.the-littlest-thistle.com/fun-questions-to-ask-kids/ What worked best were goofy prompts like “If fruits could talk, which one would be the funniest?” or “What would you name a pet dinosaur?” Kids instantly relax when the question itself is ridiculous. They start joking, arguing playfully, inventing characters, and the whole moment becomes lively. These silly questions don’t just make them laugh - they help everyone bond in a natural, easygoing way.
