Bucket list conversation questions

These bucket list conversation questions are a fantastic way to find out what things people want to do, see, and achieve while they are alive.

For those of you who are not familiar with the term bucket list, it is essentially a list of things that people want to do in their lifetimes. The phrase most likely originates from a popular movie of the same title.

It is about 2 men who don’t have long to live and try to achieve a list of things before they pass away. The use of the word bucket most likely comes from the English idiom “to kick the bucket” which means to die.

Extra bucket list activity

Here is an idea you can use either before or after discussing the bucket list conversation questions.

Get your class to write their own bucket lists. You can set the length from 5 to 15 things depending on your student’s abilities and the time they have to complete the task.

It may be helpful to give them some prompts to get them started. Suggest things like in the bucket list discussion questions above. For example, places to visit, foods to eat, things to learn, events to see, things to buy, life goals, and health.

Once they are done they can rank them by how important they are and how much they want to do them.

Another fun idea is to get your students or friends to come up with their own bucket list conversation questions. This can be a creative writing and speaking task where they can use any kind of crazy ideas.
