Kitchen-Table AI Questions: 30 Discussion Cards (Print & Play)

Description

Pull a card. Talk it out. No right answers.

Kitchen-Table AI Questions is a print-and-play discussion deck from Hi, Bot for unschooling and homeschool families. Thirty open-ended prompts help kids (and grown-ups) practice thinking out loud about AI — what it is, how to use it carefully, where it goes wrong, and who should set the rules.

No worksheets to grade. No scripts to follow. Print, cut, drop in a jar, and pull one when curiosity shows up.

What you get (1 PDF, 8 pages)

• Cover — keep or share
• How-to page — unschooling-friendly use (print, cut, pull, talk, wander)
• 30 cut cards — dashed cut lines; 6 cards per sheet
• Optional journal page — write if you want; skip if talking is enough

Themes

• Understanding — what AI is and isn’t
• Safety — habits, honesty, privacy
• Thinking — bias, data, tradeoffs
• Debate — argue both sides
• Civic — who decides, fairness, labeling (balanced; no “right team”)

At a glance

• Ages: ~8–16
• Time: 5–15 minutes per card (or a whole rabbit hole)
• Materials: Printer, scissors, jar or envelope
• Screen-free: Yes

How to print

1. Print at Actual Size / 100% (never Fit to page).
2. Cut along the dashed lines.
3. Keep cards in a jar. Pull one when you’re ready to talk.

Superpower question: End any rabbit hole with “How could we check that?”

Pairs well with

Bot-Builders (also free from Hi, Bot on Homeschool Resource Co.) — a screen-free robotics card game that teaches the Sense → Think → Act → Power loop.
