Questions that get at, "What did you do at school today?"

Specific questions are more likely to prompt a discussion about what we've done during the day.  Why not try some of these:

1.  What book did Ms. Monmaney read aloud today?   What happened in the book?  What did you learn?

2.  Who did you play with at recess?  Who did you eat lunch with today?

3.  Tell me about a game you played in P.E.

4.  Can you sing me a song that you learned at school?

5.  What did you write about during writing time today?

6.  What are you most proud of?

7.  What seemed hard?

8.  What happened at school today that was fun?

9. What did you like best about your school day today?
