50 Get to Know Me Questions

Enjoy these 50 Get to Know Me Questions for an activity with family, friends, classmates, or coworkers. A mix of thought-provoking and silly prompts, to help you learn something new about each other.

Every year, my extended family organizes a Girls’ Weekend. It’s a fun opportunity for the women of the family, young and old(er), to get together and bond over food, games, and camping.

My Grandma always hoped we would stay close. So, we keep the tradition going, and every aunt, niece, and great granddaughter makes an effort to be there when possible.

This year, my sister and I are in charge of coming up with a few games to play. Because of the wide range of ages, that can be tricky. But with this activity, we’re keeping it simple.

Each person will draw and answer a question or two. These aren’t your typical “what’s your favorite color” trivia. These are sometimes-off-the-wall, new, and random facts to dig a little deeper and find out something brand new about each other!

We’re using these 50 Get to Know Me questions for our Girls’ Weekend, but they would totally work in a different setting too!

• Company retreat? Sure!
• Married couple Q&A? You betcha!
• Family night with kids? Oh yeah!
• First date get-to-know-you-trivia-because-you-can’t-think-of-anything-else-to-say? Why not?!

Have fun with these 50 Questions for your upcoming activity!
