Get to know you questionnaire
A fun first-day questionnaire for a class, team or club.
What's inside
Choosing time travel asks where they would go first, and the pronunciation question helps you say every name right on day one.
- 1Your name
- 2How do you say it?
- 3What do you do for fun?
- 4Favorite food
- 5Pick a superpowerFlyingInvisibilityTime travelTalking to animals
- 6Where would you go first, past or future?Only if “Pick a superpower” is Time travel
- 7Something nobody would guess about you
- 8What do you want to get better at this year?
Using the answers on the first day
Send the link a few days before the first day. Read the pronunciation answers before roll call, so every name is said right the first time.
The "nobody would guess" answers make a quick game. Read three out and let the group guess who wrote them.
Keep the goal answers for later. Hand them back in June and ask each person whether they got better at it.
Get to know you questions
Can I use it for a new team at work?
Yes. Swap the superpower for a workplace question, such as "Best way to reach you", and rename the title. The rest works for adults too. The pronunciation question matters at work as much as in class, especially with colleagues you mostly meet on video calls. Read a few of the fun answers at the first team meeting to break the ice.
Do students need an email to answer?
No. The form asks for a name only. Students open the link on a phone or a school laptop and answer. For a class of 25 to 30, a QR code on the board on the first morning gets every answer in within a few minutes. Students who join later in the term use the same link, and their answers land in the same list.
Can parents fill it in for young kids?
Yes. Change the intro to address parents, and the answers become a quick profile of each child before the year starts. Ask parents to fill it in with their child, so the answers still sound like the kid. Add a question for allergies or who picks them up if you need it, and put the link in your welcome email.
