Ready-to-use classroom survey questions for review days, icebreakers, and end-of-unit fun — plus an AI shortcut for subject-specific rounds.
Loads all 31 questions and their point values into the builder. Edit anything before you host.
Teachers have used Family Feud-style games as a review tool for decades, and for good reason: it turns passive review into an activity every student wants to participate in. This page is a classroom-ready question bank — 90+ survey-style questions grouped by category, covering school life, study habits, and general classroom culture, all safe for school use.
If you want a broader look at classroom setup, team structures, and grading-friendly variations, see our companion guide on Family Feud for teachers, which covers logistics in more depth. This page focuses purely on the questions themselves.
The biggest time-saver for teachers is AI Mode, a Pro feature in our game builder that auto-generates a full set of survey-style questions from any topic you type in — think "World War II," "cell biology," or "fractions." Instead of writing questions from scratch, you describe the unit you're reviewing and AI Mode drafts ranked answers and point values for you in seconds, which you can then edit before class. It's a huge time-saver during finals week or when you're covering a brand-new unit.
The categories below are intentionally general-purpose so they work as icebreakers, brain breaks, or Friday review games regardless of subject. Split your class into two teams, use our free online builder to project a real scoreboard and buzzer system, and let students compete for bonus points or class privileges. For step-by-step play instructions, check our how to play Family Feud guide.

Yes, every question on this page is written to be age-appropriate and school-safe for elementary through high school audiences.
AI Mode is a Pro feature in our game builder that generates a full set of survey-style questions automatically when you type in a topic — for example, a unit you're currently teaching. It saves teachers the time of writing custom review questions by hand.
These general-purpose questions work well as icebreakers or brain breaks for any subject. For subject-specific review questions, use AI Mode to generate questions tied directly to your unit content.
A single question typically takes 3-5 minutes including strikes and steals, so a 20-minute activity comfortably fits 4-6 questions.
No special equipment is needed — you can read questions aloud, or use our free online builder projected on a screen for a real buzzer and scoreboard experience.
The core game builder is free. AI Mode's automatic question generation is a Pro feature, while all the questions listed on this page are free for any teacher to use.
