Families: 100 Conversation Starter Cards for Families and Kids - Relationship Building - Car Travel, Road Trip & Card Game for Healthy Loving Family - Questions for Family Activities

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.

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.

These are great quality cards. So many questions to choose from. Time well spent discussing and learning things that these simple questions have sparked. Definitely will be ordering another version to add to these.

I purchased this product for a family trip. I wanted something for us to do on a long drive other than watching a movie or listening to podcasts/music. This was a great conversation starter and we actually break out the cards at dinner as well. The questions are all great and very age appropriate for all members of the family from the smallest to the oldest. Each card usually makes us reflect on each other’s answer and I would say has helped us grow closer as a family. Definitely something I recommend for families and I will be purchasing more of the other series so we can use them when friends and family are over for the holidays.

This "game" is great--really more of a "conversation starter" than a game, but you get the idea. We had a lot of success playing it in the car, on a long ride to and from PA (2-3hours each way). Our 11 year old loved it, and we (dad and bonus mom) enjoyed it as well, and brought up some nice memories. The "FAMILIES" version is very kid friendly, but can be answered by almost everyone. In deed, we have a 3 year old, and we could ask him the questions too, and while most of his answers were "make believe" or nonsensical, he was very excited, and kept asking "Are you asking me, momma, or are you asking dad/sister?" And as long as you are attentive, and have some imagination, you can incorporate even the littlest family members.

The product itself seems ok but the box was damaged somehow. And a couple of the cards inside were dinged up. We can still read them but at the price you pay you should ha e a brand new item, undamaged. So. A little sad about that. Thumbing through the cards though I think this will be an awsome road trip or family gathering activity to do.

I totally recommend this card game. Definitely is going to make me order the rest of the batch. One card asked us to rate our day from 1-10. I had asked my daughter to rate her day. At the moment I was thinking she would say 1 because she has so much school work to do, she was feeling so overwhelmed. I mean I would not blame her considering today she did her work from 9am today to 7pm at night... well, she rated it at 10! She said even thought she was overwhelmed she got so much work done. I absolute do not regret this game and it’s a great conversation started. It lets us know what goes on in each other’s minds. A deep understanding of what a simple question can actually mean to someone. I love this. We did it at the dinner table and let a few more after dinner. Love this❤️❤️❤️ I do not regret!

I bought this deck a few years ago, but it got tucked away in a drawer, never opened. I came upon it recently, in preparation for a garage sale. My now 11-year-old groaned when he saw me pull it out, and was decidedly NOT interested in participating. But after I’d asked a couple of questions, he grabbed the deck and wanted to ask, too. He offered independently “I thought this was going to be dumb, but it’s actually kind of fun!” Well, after a handful of questions, and more conversation than I’ve had with him in a week, he suddenly stopped and said “Hey! I see what’s happening, here! You tricked me into having a conversation with you!” Hahahaha!!! Even after this realization, he grabbed a handful of cards, so we could ask each other questions on the way to drop him off at play practice. Anything getting this tween engaged and connected is worth its weight in gold, in my opinion. Five stars!!
