The following is part on an article from Search Institute:
Character strengths can be hard to talk about in the abstract, so here are some provocative questions and examples that stimulate hypothetical conversations that unpack character strengths and how young people think about them. These can be used as icebreakers in classrooms or groups, during transitions between activities, or in informal conversations.
What if . . .
1. You won $1 million. What would you do with it? How would it affect who you are and how you see yourself?
2. A friend asked you to shoplift a loaf of bread to give to a homeless person. What would you do? Why?
3. You could give a Nobel Prize to the person you most admire. Who would you give the award to? Why?
4. You could have three superpowers. What would you pick? Why?
5. You suddenly moved to a different continent. How would you adapt to that change?
6. You were asked to plan a visit by the U.S. president to your school. How would you start?
7. You were going to spend the next year on an uninhabited tropical island. Who would you want to go with you? Why?
8. You learned you had only three weeks to live. What would be most important for you to do?
9. You had a chance to create a video game that shows your approach to life. What features would it include? What obstacles would you create?
10. The whole world would listen to you for one minute. What would you say?
11. You could meet one person you most admire from the past or present. Who would you want to meet? Why? What would you say?
