25 Funniest Questions from Kids



Skip to content

Most people are kind of curious… and then there are kids, who are the most naturally curious people, which means they have awesome questions.  Like, where have I seen that actor before? (chances are it’s Gary Oldman and the answer is everywhere).

The funniest questions from kids tend to be truly funny.  So, below is a compilation of some of funniest questions from kids, compiled from the funny kids on the internet.

    “Well if there is a word for every number, then there must be infinite words.” (/u/Waja_Wabit)
  5. “What did it feel like on your last day of being a child?”

Far Too Deep for Any of Us:

The most unexpected questions and answers of the game “What? Where? When?”

The first questions for connoisseurs were invented by Vladimir Voroshilov himself and a team of editors, but a few years later the program began to receive letters from viewers with questions, the answers to which were sometimes the most unexpected.

“RG” chose a few interesting questions that sounded on the air of the game “What? Where? When?”.

Question No. 1

In 1924 and 1948 Germany was punished for starting wars in the same way that Sparta had once been punished. What is this punishment?

Answer: German athletes were banned from the Olympics

Question #2

Weekly World News conducted a survey in five major American cities to find out who would agree to go naked to work for $1 million. 84% of men agreed. Women, as it turned out, are somewhat more bashful: only 20% would demonstrate their charms. True, the explanation may be contained in the words of one of the participants in the survey, who would expose herself on the condition that she was warned several weeks in advance. Why does she need these few weeks?

Answer: To lose weight

Question No. 3

The Mexican resort of Acapulco is world famous. It owes its popularity largely to the local climate, which is the best suited for recreation. Having guessed that the word “acapulco” means in the Aztec language, name the famous traveler who visited, among other interesting places, the city with the same name.

Answer: Dunno

Question №4

This device was invented in the USA in the early 1920s. It was first produced by a company that had previously been involved in the production of cocktail mixers, and quickly gained popularity among a significant part of the population. In the 1930s and 1940s, models with adjustable heating and speed appeared. And why did sales of these devices soar in the 1960s?

Answer: Because men began to wear long hair and they also needed hair dryers.

Question №5

The radical avant-garde association of artists of the beginning of the last century, which broke away from the “Jack of Diamonds”, had an unusual two-word name, denoting an item that was once presented to its rightful owner. What was the name of this association?

Answer: “Donkey’s tail”

Question №6

English psychologist David Lewis claims that it is safe only for women, while for men it can become a source of dangerous diseases. Studies have shown that only a quarter of women had any minor abnormalities, such as heartbeat. Men, on the contrary, reacted extremely negatively to this: their pulse quickened, arrhythmia began to appear, and blood pressure jumped sharply. Call it an English word that has recently penetrated into the Russian language.

Answer: Shopping

Question №7

Many do not believe in its existence. However, Kant believed that any human knowledge begins with it. And they say that it brings only those who have it. Name her.

Answer: Intuition

Question #8

Oddly enough, these two have a lot in common. Both have Italian roots. Their patronymics would be the same, if, of course, there were any. But their relations with Russia have developed in different ways. As a result, the first visit to Russia brought only troubles, although at first everything turned out very successfully for him. The second is not only known in Russia to everyone from young to old, in fact, here he was born. Name them both.

Answer: Napoleon Bonaparte and Pinocchio

Question №9

Each of them has something inhuman, mechanistic. At the same time, the first one is friendly to others, although a certain woman suffered a lot from him. The second, on the contrary, is very unfriendly, but a certain woman managed to avoid the threat from him in the end. Interestingly, both made the same promises. Who are they?

Answer: Carlson and the Terminator

Comment: “He flew away, but promised to return” and “I’ll be back”

Question No. 10

One literary character, walking around the zoo and imbued with sympathy for animals locked in cages, decided that the prefix “not” would really help a certain word. What’s this word?

Answer: Aviary

Question No. 11

In an article published some time ago in the Pravda newspaper, it was stated that he was a cosmopolitan, a parasite and a homeless person. In another article, not without irony, it was said that . .. “in the Soviet Union, he found an accomplice – and also of foreign origin.” Name both.

Question 20: As an adjective, this word describes the state of the pawn. How
a noun is an indispensable attribute of the Soviet
institutions. Name this word.

A child should be able to ask (“mand” — the child’s demand for something from others) for many different things. Some prefer to wait until the child can also name (“tact” – naming an object or person, commenting on what is happening), use adjectives and prepositions, and use whole sentences for requests (“mands”). Others have successfully used learning mechanisms in which children ask questions (mands for information) to teach adjectives and prepositions to the child, as this can increase the child’s motivation to use adjectives and prepositions in practice. The author considers it most important to assess the child’s ability to recognize the conditions under which questions can be asked (mands for obtaining information), and to use those “sequences” for learning that are best suited for this child. If you decide to teach your child to ask questions, and errors occur in recognizing such conditions, try to teach the child to recognize the appropriate situation for questions. If that doesn’t work, put off teaching your child to ask questions (mands for information) while you teach them other necessary skills.

Why do people ask questions?

The main task of the question is to obtain the desired information. Of course, as adults, we also know that certain questions can be asked out of politeness (eg, “How are you?”, “How did you go on vacation?”). If we are interested and pleased to keep in touch with the person with whom we are talking, or we like the topic of the conversation, then questions help to maintain and continue it.

When NT children first learn to ask questions, “Is this?” becomes their first “question”. One explanation for this behavior is that they require information. The child wants to learn and is interested in the world around him. In behaviorist terms, this means that “words” become reinforcement for the child. Another behavioral explanation for this behavior is that the person to whom the child asks “Is this?” becomes a secondary, additional reinforcement, and the child asks (“mands”) for the attention of this person. This happens after the person has been associated with another reinforcer for a long time, and for the child now the reinforcer is every time he asks “Is this?” in the presence of this person.

Is my child/student asking for information?

Remember that when determining the reinforcement for each behavior, we must observe what the child likes. The author has encountered children who demanded information by pointing at or touching an object/picture without looking at the adult present. This behavior was reinforced by an adult who called the object and touched it at the same time.

For example, one child’s behavior is heavily reinforced by letters and numbers, and he often points to them. Each time the child points, the adult calls a letter or number. The child could successfully distinguish (touch, point/grab) letters and numbers when asked, but did not communicate with speech. If he needed to ask for something, he pulled his parents to the desired object or place in which he wanted to perform some action. Instead of asking the parents, the child turned them into a kind of high-tech toy with buttons (one of his favorite stimulating toys). While this helped bind the parents to the reinforcer, which is a desirable end in itself, it was necessary to eliminate this model when the child learned to demand other objects using other modes of communication and, at the same time, learned (through combination with certain reinforcers) to receive enjoyment of other toys and performing activities with people.

With this particular child, we were able to teach him some skills using the behavior he already exhibited (touching objects) and his desire to hear someone say letters and numbers. First we started teaching in the style the child had learned before (child shows – adult speaks), then we waited for a few seconds while the child turned and looked at the adult before calling the numbers. Soon the child was making eye contact when he was pointing. In the next step, we wrote numbers on small cards and taught the child to give us a card with a number that he wanted to hear (PECS system). We taught the child the skill of giving a picture of what he wanted. Later, outside of class, the child carried the card to the parent. When he did this, the parent would take out the letters and numbers and play with them with the child. This skill was more practical, as the child could ask for a certain game or action using a card, whereas previously he could only demand certain behaviors from his parents when there were letters and numbers nearby. The child also expanded this skill by asking for other toys, food, and performing the activities he wanted. We also used the reinforcing power of letters and numbers along with bricks, puzzles and songs to combine these activities with reinforcement (create new extra reinforcers, expand the child’s interests).

Even if the child “says words that sound like a question,” we must determine the modeling reinforcer before we know whether the child is asking for information or asking for a particular object or action. For example, a child with a high degree of echolalia may ask, “Do you want to watch TV?” even when he is not interested in whether you want to or not. The function of this question is to communicate the request – “I want to watch TV.” It’s easy to see how this happens. This behavior may have become fixed because when the child wanted to watch TV, he would pull his mother towards him and put her hand on the button. Before turning on the TV, she asked: “Do you want to watch TV?” The child echoed and the TV turned on. His repetition of “Do you want to watch TV?” backed up many times. The problem was that the child used the wrong form to achieve the goal. Instead, the parents were taught to prompt him with the phrase “I want to see …”. The child added “TV” and the TV turned on. The child could not yet repeat individual words “under instructional control” or on a regular basis, but he kept adding words to his favorite songs, and so we realized that in this way, by adding words to a phrase, we can achieve the desired behavior, when you need to say “TV” to then reinforce it. In this case, we didn’t need to prompt the child for the whole phrase “I want to watch TV” until he learned to use individual words in different cases, without echolalia. We prompted him to use many different sentences (e.g. “I want to watch TV”, “Turn on the TV”, “Let’s watch TV”, etc.) to get him to turn on the TV, but not before he could call a huge number of items in response to the question “What is this?” and did it himself to get our attention. The use of the phrase “I want to watch TV” became important because the “listener” could not always tell whether he was saying a word because he wanted to or was simply naming an object to get our attention.

Other children often ask questions that do not serve to obtain information at all. For example, they might ask, “Where’s my ball?” when the ball is right in front of them. This is because the child was rewarded for saying “words that sound like a question” with the desired object, even when it was visible. Or the child could be taught to ask questions through imitation that did not include appropriate reinforcement (in the form of receiving unknown information). For example, a child’s behavior was reinforced after he said “Who is this?” when viewing an album with photos of familiar family members. If he can name (“tact”) the people in the album, then he does not need the information that can be obtained using the question “Who is this?”. Whenever such a learning mechanism became apparent, the author considered it best to prompt the “correct words” in the right context and then reinforce this by using many opportunities to practice and remove prompts, while at the same time teaching the appropriate conditions so that the child could distinguish between them. For example, for the child described above, you can prompt (by placing the child’s finger on the picture): “Look, this is dad!”, “This is grandmother!” and then taking away the tips. At the same time, you can train him to ask “Who?” provided that he needs information, as will be described below.

How can I teach my child to ask questions in an appropriate situation?

First evaluate information that will support a specific question:

1. “Can it?” helps to obtain information about whether a person or object is capable of performing some kind of action. The answer will usually be yes or no. For example, “Can donkeys fly?”.

2. “Can I?/Can I?” allows you to get permission to perform the desired action or obtain the desired object. For example, “Can I go outside?”, “Can I have a cookie?”.

3. “Will it?/Will it?/Will it?” tells us about the ability, desire of a person or the likelihood of him performing some action. (If the question is asked to the person who is involved in this action, “you” is used, and if the person is present, but you are not talking to him, the question will sound “he” or “she”. If the person is not present at the question, it is used name). For example, “Grandma will pick me up?”, “Will you help me complete this puzzle?”, “Can you get my shoes?”, “Will you take out the trash?”, “Is he picking up my truck?”, “Dad will go to work today? “,” Will Mrs. Smith take me to the park with her?

4. “What?/What is this?” helps to find out the name of the object (“tact”). For example, “What’s in the bag?”, “What is it?” (when a child points to an unknown object or picture).

5. “Which one?” gives specific information about an object or indicates that more specificity is needed.

For example,
Instructor: “I have a new dog!”
Child: “What?”
Instructor: “Boxer”.
or “Which chips do you want?”.

6. “Who?” helps to find out the name of a person, how to call him (“tact”). For example, “Who is this?” (about a new kid in the class) or

Mom: Someone is coming to visit today!
Child: Who?
or “Who took my truck?”.

7. “Where?” gives information about the location of an object, person, or action. For example, “Where’s Mom?” (mom is not around), “Where are my shoes?” (no shoes in sight), “Where are we going?”

8. “When?” defines a period of time. For example, “When will I have dinner?”, “When are you going on vacation?”, “When can we be together?”.

9. “Why?” allows you to find out the reason for what is happening or what happened. For example, “Why are you wearing a bag on your head?”, “Why did you hit me?”, “Why is he talking so loudly?”.

10. “Which one?/Which one?” helps to distinguish between two or more objects. For example,

Dad: “Can I have a cookie?” (there are three cookies on the table)
Child: “What?”

11. “How?” lets you know how to do or do something. For example, “How did you discover this?”, “How does it work?”

12. General questions, together with pronouns or names of people, provide information about preferences, actions, and events that have occurred. For example, “Have you eaten crackers?”, “Do you like puzzles?”, “Does Grandma like the videos that Thomas makes?”

Next, we need to determine how to make the process of obtaining information valuable (rewarding) for the child. This is an important element of the learning process, because as long as we teach the child to ask questions, if the information that the child receives is not reinforcement for him, he is unlikely to do so spontaneously. In other words, we are teaching him to ask, but we must also teach him to “take care” of getting information. This effect can be achieved by using information acquisition and certain reinforcement together. When the process of obtaining information has been in place for a long time or is paired with reinforcement, the likelihood that the child will ask questions in the future increases. The author usually teaches children at first only interrogative words, turning them into “important words” (characteristic stimulus) for obtaining a certain answer or a certain type of information. The child can then be taught a variety of questions that contain specific question words. The following are examples of the learning process:

What?

1. (Books about Thomas are a special encouragement for the child and are out of sight).

Instructor: I have something important for you! Tell what?”.
Child: What?
Instructor: New book about Thomas!

Important: The child should already be taught to repeat everything that follows the instruction “Say”. If the child has difficulty distinguishing between the need to repeat the question and the need to answer the question, you can first let him repeat other words to create an “inertia effect”, and then the question word itself. For example,

Trainer: Say home.
Child: Dom.
Instructor: Say baby.
Child: Toddler.
Instructor: Say “What?”
Child: What?

2. (The reward is in a transparent bag)

Instructor: (pointing to the bag) Say “what is this?”
Child: What is this?
Trainer: This is your top! Let’s go play!

3. A child reaches for a bag containing a reward.

Trainer: Say “What’s in the bag?”
Child: What’s in the bag?
Instructor: New cartoon! Let’s go watch!

4. When the question is sufficiently reinforced, teach the child to receive information regarding the names of objects (“bars”) that he does not know.

Instructor: (looking at a book about marine animals, which has many measures that the child already knows, but some of them have not yet been taught).
Instructor: What is this?
Child: Kit.
The instructor points to another animal known to the child without asking “what is it?”, thus removing the prompt for the child to name the animal.
Child: Shark. Octopus.
The instructor points to an unknown animal and immediately prompts: “Say ‘What is this?’
Child: What is this?
Instructor: It’s a sea lion.

(Depending on the individual child, the reinforcer for this behavior (asking questions) in this case could be information if the child is very fond of marine animals, or social reinforcement such as “Wow! You learned a lot of marine animals!” (social praise in this case is an additional, secondary reinforcer), or stopping further instruction (just reading a book together), or any other reinforcer (for example, getting a toy sea lion after asking a child a question if he enjoys playing with sea animals). 0003

Who?

1. (The planned arrival of several people with whom the child is “encouraged”)

Instructor: Someone is at the door! Say “Who?”
Child: Who?
Instructor: (opens the door) Grandma! (this is repeated with several “loved” people).

2. (Different people take turns hiding under the blanket so that the child does not see them)

Instructor: Look! Someone under the covers. Say “Who?”
Child: Who?
The instructor calls out the names of people as they emerge from under the covers.

3. Instructor: Someone wants to kiss you. Say “Who?”
Child: Who?
Instructor: Me! (kisses the baby)

4. (arrange for the “favorite” people to call)

Instructor: Someone wants to talk to you on the phone. Say “Who is it?”
Child: Who is this?
Instructor: It’s dad! Dad wants to talk to you!

5. (looking at the photo album)

Instructor: Who is this?
Child: Mom.
Instructor: (continues to point to photo and then to someone the child doesn’t know) Say “Who is this?”
Child: Who is this?
Instructor: Bill (should also encourage the child verbally or financially for asking a question).

Where?

1. (Woody’s toy is a special reward for the child)

Instructor: I know where Woody is. Say “Where?”
Child: Where?
Instructor: It’s under the couch! (helps the child find it if needed).

2. (When the question “What?” is already studied, combine it with “Where?”)

Instructor: I have something for you!
Child: What is this?
Instructor: New ball! Say “Where is he?”
Child: Where is he?
Instructor: It’s in this bag.
The child takes out the ball.

3. When the child already asks “Where?” in artificial conditions in accordance with certain stimuli, teach him to ask the question “Where?” along with the name of the item to ask for the missing item.

(ball game – the instructor hides the ball in different places in the room)
Instructor: (draws attention to the empty basket where the ball usually lies) Say “Where is the ball?”
Child: Where is the ball?
Instructor: It’s under the box.

4. Give your child a bowl of cereal without a spoon.

Trainer: Say “Where’s my spoon?”
Child: Where is my spoon?
Instructor: It’s in the box. Let’s go get her.

(Child should constantly ask for missing items. Periodically reward the child’s request for an item (i.e. “I need a spoon”. It may also be worth hiding a stronger reward with the spoon to compensate for the child’s expectation of a reward in the form of a spoon) .

Why?

1. (Instructor and child do things together that the child does not like very much). Instructor: We should stop working.

Say “why?”
Child: Why?
Trainer: Because we’re going to the park now! (what the child loves very much).

2. (Child is watching a cartoon he doesn’t like too much. Instructor comes in and turns it off)

Instructor: Say “Why did you turn off the cartoon?”
Child: Why did you turn off the cartoon?
Instructor: So we can watch a cartoon about Dora! (which the child likes more).

3. (Instructor puts on a clown nose during class)

Instructor: Say “Why did you wear that nose?”
Child: Why are you wearing that nose?
Instructor: Because we’re going to play circus today! (one of my favorite games).

Which one? Which one?

1. Instructor: One of these candies is for you. Say “What?”
Child: What?
Trainer: Candy Orange (this is the child’s favorite color)

2. Instructor: (holds both hands into a fist) I have a candy in my hand. Say “Which one?”
Child: Which one?
Instructor: This one! (opens hand and gives candy).
You can also teach your child to ask the question: “In which hand?”.

3. Instructor: (two boxes in front of him, one of which contains Woody’s toy) Woody is in the box. Say “Which box?”
Child: Which box?
Trainer: In a shiny box.

4. When the child uses this question confidently, teach him to ask this question to clarify the request.

Instructor: (two balloons in front of him) Give me the balloon. Say “What?”
Child: What?
Instructor: Long.

The child gives the balloon to the instructor, who inflates it and plays with the child.

5. When the child has already learned the questions “What?” and “Where?”, combine it with “Which?”

Instructor: I have something for you.
Child: What?
Instructor: Soft ball.
Child: Where is he?
Instructor: In a bag (two bags in front of him). Say “Which one?”
Child: Which one?
Instructor: In a large bag.

Whose?

1. Instructor: I have someone’s candy. Say “Whose?”
Child: Whose?
Instructor: Yours! (gives candy)

2. Instructor: (puts candy in front of the child) Say “Whose candy?”
Child: Whose candy?
Instructor: Yours!

When a child begins to constantly ask “Whose?” without prompts, periodically add blocks in which the candy will belong to another.

The candy lies in front of the child. Child: Whose candy?
Instructor: Mom (Mom takes the candy).

When?

1. Child: Can I have a cookie?
Instructor: Not now. Tell me when?”
Child: When?
Instructor: As soon as we wash our hands. (need to keep the waiting period short)

2. Instructor: We’re going to the park! Tell me when?”
Child: When?
Instructor: As soon as we finish the book.

3. After the question “When?” mastered, combine it with “Where?”
Instructor: Today we are going to a special place.
Child: Where are we going?
Instructor: To the zoo! Say “When are we going to the zoo?”
Child: When are we going to the zoo? (This is the child’s favorite place)
Instructor: Right after dinner!
(Do it during lunch, not after breakfast!)

How?

1. Instructor: (brought a new toy that is difficult to turn on) I know how to turn it on. Say “How?”
Child: How?
Instructor: That’s it! (Turns on the toy, but tries not to show exactly how, in order to repeat this block a few more times).

When the prompt is no longer needed, simply prompt the child to say “How do you turn it on?” and demonstrate.

2. Instructor: (brings a container with a new latch and a promotion inside) Say “How do I open it?”
Child: How to open it?
Instructor: You need to turn like this (opens and gives the child encouragement).

Can you?

1. The child enjoys watching the instructor goofing around and constantly makes random comments without prompting.

Instructor: Let’s play a game. Can you do that? (does something funny for the child to repeat).
Child: Yes, I can! (repeats)
Instructor: This is very funny! It’s your turn.
Child: Can you do that? (does something funny for the instructor to repeat).
Instructor: Yes, I can! (Or “No, I can’t!” if needed.)

General

1. Instructor: We can go outside if everyone wants to. Say “Do you want to go outside?” (directs the child to ask another child of the three).
Child: Do you want to go outside? (continue with the rest of the children, hoping everyone says yes.
