OUR MOMENTS Families: 100 Thought Provoking Conversation Starters Questions

Habe das Spiel verschenkt, ich denke es wird gut ankommen. Das Spiel kam pünktlich an.

I have three children who don't always talk a lot at the dinner table about their days. They are twins (age 8) and a boy (age 12/almost 13). I bought this because it was recommended on a parenting site I am a member of to begin conversations and really get to know each other on a different level. I have also used chat packs in the past with my students and own children. I absolutely love the questions. We take turns as a family choosing a card and it fits in a tiny container we keep in our dining room. The person reads the card and we take turns listening to each other's response and asking questions or responding to what each family member says. The first night they all wanted to draw another card and keep going. The questions weren't surface but deep and meaningful and interesting to children that are older. They have one that is geared more towards children that you could use in class or at home too. We all learned about each other and some of our answers surprised one another or made us smile or laugh together. This has now become a ritual every evening and has allowed us to know each other on a deeper level and practice listening and responding to meaningful conversation.

As described it is a good conversation starter, our daughter is very shy but once we started reading them she just wouldn’t shut up. A little pricey though, but partly my fault because I didn’t look at the price when ordered. However, I would still order the different ones though.

We love the moments cards it is a good way of communicating as a family we use these cards at the dinner table and picnic it is useful and avoid unnecessary discussion with pre-teen and teenager.

I bought this for the dessert table after a holiday dinner. I have two children whom I love very much. One is a born conversationalist, and the other can be like trying to pull a tooth to get a conversation rolling. This ‘game’ Provided the mechanism for a wonderful conversation and memorable evening this dad will hold in his heart for a long time to come. Thank you for developing this wonderful tool towards better and meaningful (and fun) family talk.
