Who Questions for Kids
"Who" questions ask a child to name a person or character, and they're one of the first wh-question types kids learn. Speech therapists and teachers use them to build vocabulary, comprehension, and back-and-forth conversation. Start with people the child knows, then move to pictures and stories.
Everyday (easiest)
- Who is your teacher?
- Who lives in your house?
- Who makes your dinner?
- Who do you play with?
- Who takes you to school?
Community helpers
- Who helps you when you're sick?
- Who puts out fires?
- Who delivers the mail?
- Who cuts your hair?
- Who fixes your teeth?
From pictures or stories
- Who is riding the bike?
- Who is wearing a red hat?
- Who is crying in the picture?
- Who helped the character in the story?
A little harder
- Who would you call in an emergency?
- Who is the leader of the country?
- Who do you go to when you're scared?
How to practice: ask one question, give the child time, and if they're stuck, offer a two-choice prompt ("Is it Mom or the dog?"). Use pictures for kids who aren't talking much yet, and praise any attempt. Keep sessions short and playful — a few questions during a book or a walk works better than a long drill.
