Hot Seat • Designated “hot seat” in front of the room. 2 minutes to ask the seated person any question in a rapid-fire succession. The hot seat member is allowed to say “pass” for any too personal questions — avoid asking anything too personal, as it can ruin the fun. Sample questions: • “What would you do if you won the lottery? ” • “If you could meet and have dinner with any person who ever lived, who would it be and why? What would you ask that person? ” • “What three words would you use to describe yourself? ” • Questions can be funny, too, such as: • “What was your most embarrassing moment? ” • “What was your proudest moment? ” • “What was the silliest thing you’ve ever done? ”
