Unplugged Moments High School Edition

Better conversations for teens, without making it feel like a lesson.

Getting teenagers talking is easy when you ask the right question.

The High School Edition of Unplugged Moments was created for groups of teens aged around 11–16, with 200 conversation cards designed to spark discussion, laughter, debate and the kind of conversations that don’t always happen when adults simply ask, “So, how are things?”

It works brilliantly in schools, summer camps, youth groups, clubs, residential trips and wellbeing sessions, giving teachers, leaders and facilitators an easy way to get a group talking without putting anyone on the spot.

Pick a card. Read the question. Let the conversation go wherever it goes.

There are no right answers and no pressure to share anything personal.

What’s inside

200 conversation cards across five themes:

Life at Home
Family life, independence, rules and the everyday things teens have opinions about.

Friendships & Social Life
Friendship groups, fitting in, falling out, loyalty and social situations.

Dreams & Wild Ideas
Big ambitions, ridiculous ideas, imaginary scenarios and conversations that get everyone involved.

Daily Life
School, habits, technology, routines and the things teens deal with every day.

Growing Up
Identity, independence, confidence, choices and navigating the teenage years.

Made for groups

Use them as:

• Tutor-time conversation starters
• Icebreakers for new groups
• Camp and residential activities
• Youth club discussion prompts
• Classroom conversation cards
• Wellbeing or PSHE resources
• End-of-term activities
• Small-group discussion starters

You can use one card for five minutes or find that one question unexpectedly takes over the whole session.

That’s the point.

Not a worksheet. Not therapy. Just better questions that get teenagers talking.
