list of questions for some lively dinnertime conversations

I’ve heard a few moms say that they eat in front of the TV because everyone seems to get antsy at the dinner table when conversation starts to dry up. Dinnertime can be a great time to connect as a family. Use these questions to help get everyone talking, laughing, and getting to know more about each other.

  1. What is one thing you do better than your parents?
  2. If I were a teacher, I would. . .
  3. If I were 5 years older, I would. . .
  4. If I could be invisible, I would. . .
  5. I’d like to solve the problem of. . .
  6. I would hate to lose. . .
  7. I would like a great big. . .
  8. One of the best things about me is. . .
  9. One of the happiest events of my life is. . .
  10. What I like about my name. . .
    What I don’t like about my name. . .

  • If you were given $1 Million but you couldn't keep any of it or buy yourself anything, what would you do with it...
