Therapeutic Disney Quizzes


With three teens in the house, I'm always looking for creative ways to connect. Here's my latest exciting therapeutic intervention- quizzes! You know the crazy Facebook friends of yours that are always posting the results to a quiz about- "What Color is Your Heart?" "How Many Kids Should you Have?" or "What is Your Dream State?" Well, my 14-year-old jumped on the quiz bandwagon with "Which Disney Princess are You?" So last night, when it was her turn to stay up late with me, we sat on my bed and took quizzes. Here are a few of my favorites with links:

Which Disney Animal Sidekick are You?

The great thing about a quiz is that they ask a couple of really personal questions. And because it's a silly, just-for-fun quiz, you answer. Here are some from this quiz-
"I prefer to be rewarded for a job well done with- (pick one) a) cash, b) trophies, c) snacks, or d) personal compliment."
"I love hanging out with people who are- a) kind, b) dreamers, c) enthusiastic, d) witty"
"My favorite thing about myself is-  a) my ability to keep things real b) good looks c) charm d) optimism"

Is adventure more your style? Here's a Hunger Games Quiz-

This quiz is simply a list of true or false choices, such as,
"I'm really good at forming friendships"
"I''m not afraid to stab people in the back"
"I work best under pressure."
Many of the questions on this quiz have to do with how you perceive yourself and how you treat other people- an entire therapy session in one, fun swoop!

Or you might want to try, "What's Your Secret Super Power?"

Here was my favorite from this quiz-
"Which of these are most important to you? a) independence, b) power, c) kindness, d) knowledge, e) adventure"
How amazing are these as conversation starters!

And lastly, "Which Tanner Sister from Full House Are You?"  (I know, right?)

This one had annoying pop-up ads, but it was worth it to discuss things like:

"What's your drug of choice- a) candy, b) homework, c) cigarettes"
 or, "What do you fear the most? a) being left out, b) SATs, c) sharing a room

*One disclaimer- if you're doing a quiz with an elementary aged kid, you might want to check the content first for minor cuss words, other PG-rated content or unsavory sideline ads.

So there you have it! Need some teen/tween connection over pop corn and silliness? Take a quiz!
