Family Time: Conversations Catalysts

December 22, 2011

Conversation Starters

This time of year is about spending quality time with the people that we hold dearest. Over the years we have tried out a number of fun activities that inspire thoughtful and inspiring family conversations—ones that may not occur during the typical progression of holiday events. It is always fun to be prepared with an engaging and meaningful activity that helps to bring people together.

While we are currently loving Table Topics, there are a couple posts I have come across recently that can be printed and enjoyed free of charge….

Family Dinner Questions by HowDoesShe.com
Family Conversation Starters by Balancing Beauty & Bedlam

There is also the wonderful game called Life Stories and a great book called The Kids Book of Questions.

Taking the time to prepare or bring an extra something special to family gatherings can really make a profound difference and may even inspire a new family tradition.

And for those of you looking for some nice music to set the tone…… Here is our favorite new holiday album on Spotify.

Happy Holidays to You and Your Wonderful Families…
