Stand up/sit down questions for High School

If you’ve seen our post on “Office Games That Don’t Suck — Part I” then you know that the game “Switch sides if” is an amazing way to get the energy flowing, lift spirits, get to know your teammates, and promote psychological safety at your workplace. We’ve compiled a list of the best questions to play with! All of these questions were chosen for their ability to make people laugh, and to discover common ground with your fellow employees. Here’s how to play: using tape, make a long line on the floor. Have everyone stand together on the same side to begin. Then, start asking questions to the room: “Switch sides if…”
