Description

🤔 I' ve got a question for you!

Our good friend Why has packed his suitcase and is ready to head off once again to his favorite Why Camp. Or… maybe not? His mom, Lady Why, just told him that the camp has closed—oh, what a disaster!—and that he’ll have to go to WOW Camp instead. WOW Camp has a WOW program, with lots of WOW activities and WOW trips, but… there’s one little problem: only orange exclamation marks go there! Why thinks he’ll feel awkward being the only blue question mark! 🤔

What do you think he should do so he can feel comfortable at the new camp and have a great time?

The Why Debate

In The Why Debate, we present you with some dilemmas that don't have a clear-cut solution. Just like in life, nothing is black and white — there are usually pros and cons to every decision you make. You'll need to consider all the factors, put yourself in the shoes of those affected by each option, and tell us what you would do and why!
