What kind of animal would they like to be, and why? If they could be in a movie, which one? A storm trooper in Star Wars? What is the best invention of the modern era? GPS or cell phones?

np If I were a teen I would hate all these questions! Let it happen organically. They do not want to be interviewed..lol Maybe do something like play a game ( pickleball, go for a hike) and let them take the lead

Ask them to play a board or card game.
