What goes on the bread first, peanut butter or jelly?
Last year I shared Table Talk 1, a set of 30 conversation starter questions, perfect for the dinner table or break room. I love to get people talking. I also love to equip people to start their own conversations. Each week I start my tutoring sessions with a question like this. I hope my students will reuse the questions at their dinner or lunch tables. The launching years are especially tricky when it comes to starting conversations with others. I’ve witnessed painfully quiet car rides and lunch tables because kids didn’t know how to start a conversation and just waited for someone else to do it.
Table Talk 2 is now available. Purchase this new card set and get more questions to launch conversations. Print up a copy and let your tweens or table mates select a question to ask the group. Answers don’t have to be long, but they should give a reason to support their answer.
Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate times of silence on car trips or with my morning coffee. But I also don’t want to miss out on natural opportunities to deepen relationships. This often happens around the table. Turn off the TV. Leave the devices in the front hall. Tell me, what goes on the bread first, peanut butter or jelly?
Table Talk: If you were lost in a foreign town, what’s the first thing you would do? What one invention should be uninvented? Have you downloaded Table Talk 2?
Get people talking around the dinner table or breakroom with this all new set of Table Talk 2 conversation starters.
Update: Several new sets of Table talk are available on my Etsy site and also on my website. Get them all!
