TableTopics Family Infomania: Questions to Start Great Conversations

Visiting grandchildren for the first time in two years, I find they're difficult to keep at the dinner table! But I liked the variety of questions and was able to fit them into conversation in other situations, like the car or on a long beach walk.

We used these while waiting for service and food in restaurants. They kept the kids focused and interested. And we all learned a few things about one another. I may buy other topics to keep it fresh.

We have gifted this set many times and it's always a hit! It's a great way to shape your table conversation around fun memories and really helps you to get to know the people around the table without you being the "asker" of questions. Great for all ages and the packaging is sleek and easy to keep on the table ready to start a convo!

My 15 and 12 year-old daughters, who both do well academically and socially, love the Tabletopics for Family and Teen during meal times. It gives them the chance to "toot their horn" about their opinions on numerous topics. And some of their answers are hilarious and discuss some of the questions at school. Either Tabletopics would be good for my family but I chose both to get a mix of questions. This is not for you if you don't want to learn more about your children or help build their self-esteem.Dave in Kansas City

While still sitting at the table after finishing dinner, we each pick a card and begin sharing thoughts, answers, and discussions about what was asked on the cards. It's really a great way to bond with families and especially kids! For the most part, we spend maybe 10 minutes each night having fun!!

We have mixed feelings about these questions. Here's an example of the randomness in the questions. Some questions seem to have a hidden agenda with the survey facts on the other side, and several don't add up to 100% with the survey responses. That said, we still do a few questions at dinner & it makes for some conversation or just a good laugh.
