This week’s questions were generated by Google Bard in response to the prompt, “Please list five good getting-to-know-you questions.” As you might expect, they are not very creative. In fact, Google Bard gave me a second “here are some other…” list, and these questions all came from that. Don’t worry; I don’t plan to do this again. It was just to see what would happen. 🙂

1. What is your favorite thing to learn about?
2. What is your favorite thing to do with your friends?
3. What is your favorite place you’ve ever been?
4. What is your favorite way to relax?
5. What is your favorite thing to cook?

The Bard adds: “These are just a few examples, and there are many other great getting-to-know-you questions out there. The best questions are the ones that are open-ended and allow for conversation. So, get creative and ask questions that will help you get to know the people you meet in a deeper way.”

Thanks for participating, and have a lovely, educational, friendly, relaxing, safe weekend!

This week’s 5 is inspired by the party game Scattergories, in which players have to think of items, all beginning with the same letter, in several categories. For example, if the die is rolled and shows the letter O, players might have to name a fruit, a bird, a river, and a movie star, all beginning with O. Valid answers might be orange, ostrich, Ohio, and Omar Epps.

First, go to this nifty online random-letter generator. Set the “number of random letter sequences to generate” to 1. Set the “length of each random letter sequence” to 1. Leave the “letters to choose from” how it is and click the button. You’ll get a rather non-dramatic one letter. Use this letter to begin all your answers to the 5 questions below. If you’d like to avoid difficult letters, feel free to change the “letters to choose from” list. I’ll only judge you a little bit.  🙂

Alternately, if you find this boring, you could set the “length of each random letter sequence” to 5, thereby giving you five letters, a different one for each question.

Wow! This is our thirteenth year doing this! If you find this particularly fun (I do!) and haven’t done this before, here are the questions for parts 10, 11, and 12. Go crazy and do those too.

Please answer these questions with an answer whose initial is the letter you rolled!

1. What should you always be careful with?
2. With whom would you like to have dinner?
3. What would you like to learn how to do?
4. Where will you find what you’ve been looking all over for?
5. What do you dream about?

Thanks for participating, and have a hggif* weekend!
