My kids are getting older and will often head back to their rooms after dinner pretty quickly 😂 and I am loving this idea of picking a question or two to discuss at dinner to make this time well spent and special. I especially love this idea when you have extended family over and the conversation hits a lull. It’s also an easy way to talk about some new ideas and share things we maybe never thought to share before. ❤️

Tips for making & having a great time with these dinner conversation cards:

  • Consider having your conversation cards laminated if you’ll be using them at the table so you can wipe off food/drinks.
  • Use a cute recipe box to keep the cards in! I attached this chalkboard label to my box. It actually has magnets on the back of it to attach to the fridge!

Talking to my kids is the best part of my day, so I love these conversation starter cards!

We usually discuss the highs/lows of our day, but I love how these topics can spark some other fun conversations. I also think most of these could be great conversation starters for friends or any group. You could also onlinee up with your own questions and cater them for other occasions, such as the uponlineing holidays!

    Thank you. Our son has autism and family dinners are usually painfully awkward for him, having or starting conversations has always been hard for him. These are some great starters (he is 18) and I am not sure why I never thought of it before! You gals are great!!!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh I’m glad you found this helpful! Thanks for the feedback and have fun with these <3

    Love these. I have a decorative jar on my table that I keep conversation starters in. Definitely helps with two preteens who only want to talk video games, or not at all.

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Aww yes! I can relate to that! Great idea!
