What are open ended questions?

WHAT ARE OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS...

> They cannot be answered with yes or no

> They do not have a right or wrong answer

> They encourage discussion, not short answers

> They do not assume too much about the activity or situation you are questioning.

> They give control to the child.

EXAMPLES

> Can you tell me about…

> I wonder….

> How many do you think…

> What did you do at the weekend?

> What tools shall we use?

> Where does _____ live?

> How old am I?

> Can you explain?

> Tell me about your family?

Open ended questions really helps a child with their language. It allows them to think about their answer and experiment with words

Top Tip: Wait 10 seconds after asking a child a question- this gives them time to process and think before they answer.
