TableTopics Family Conversation Cards for Kids & Parents with 135 Questions for Fun & Connection at Dinnertime, Game Night, & Classrooms

This was such a fun way to get conversations going and learn more about each other! No questions that would start any kind of controversy, just fun, happy to think about things to answer. Great for all ages.

Before I bought this, dinner time was a mess. We have two kids ages 6 and 10. My 10 year old eats super fast and then leaves the table and gets annoyed with everyone else for being slow. My 6 year old is the slowest eater on the planet. My husband and I were mostly spending dinner time doing behavior management every day. I dreaded it.Once we started using this deck a few weeks ago everything changed! Our kids sit and talk with us about fascinating things the whole time - I mean they still bicker - but we are connecting more than doing behavior management. AND it keeps our oldest at the table and engaged with us (which has always been a struggle). And we learn new things about each other which is awesome. I’m already worried about what will happen when we run out of cards (though there are a TON so I don’t think that will happen soon).And it’s helping them learn how to have meaningful conversations - and etiquette around how to talk in a group and give others space. I love itIf you are craving more connection with your kiddos and easier dinners - this has worked well for us.

The media could not be loaded. Love these. Went through several of these this morning with my 10-year-old granddaughter. Amazing what I can learn from her by her answers. Surprisingly mature and insightful answers for her age. Great discussion starters. A little pricey, but the quality of the acrylic case and the thickness of the cards mean great durability. And I feel the questions are timeless, so I think it’s a good value.

The questions are just amazing for my family with 6 and 7 year old. I bought them for a vacation where we would be spending lots of time in the car and these were an unexpected absolute home run hit for everyone. The kids loved them, and it gives us as parents the chance to talk about things that are important and great teaching opportunities, but just never pop in our minds to discuss. Teaching and learning opportunities, and genuine family together time that the kids actually enjoy??? All around just great, couldn't be happier

My family is one one a dying breed that eats dinner at the table together every night. Throughout the years, I've used various conversation-starting techniques ("How was your day starting with the letter M?" or "How was your day ending with '... and then I had a delicious dinner!'?) When I came across this cube of cards on Amazon, it seemed like it was made for my family. The price was a little steep, but I decided to give it to myself as a Christmas gift. The cards arrived in good condition; my plastic cube was in perfect shape, not damaged at all as some other reviewers have experienced. Each card has one question printed on it. The questions aren't anything groundbreaking or earth shattering - you could have probably thought of all of them yourself, if you had the time and inclination. The cards include questions such as:what's your favorite dessertwho is one of your heroes and why do they inspire youwould you keep a secret if you knew someone would get hurt if you didif you were showing a foreigner around your town where would you take themwhat's your favorite family traditionwhat do you say when someone gives you a gift you already haveif you could speak another language which would you choosehow does a person become courageouswhat would you like to change about your schoolOverall ImpressionsPros:- My kids (ages 12 and 9) LOVE these cards. They really look forward to answering the questions every day.- The plastic cube is thick and sturdy. The overall design is very attractive.- The cards are thick cardstock and seem durable enough.- These are a fun and simple way to get people talking and thinking at the tableCons:- You may have noticed that the questions listed above have no capitalization and almost no punctuation. I typed them out just as they are written on the cards. Really. This drives me absolutely crazy. I get that it's probably supposed to be "stylistic," and I'm as big a fan of ee cummings as the next gal, but my 9 year old really struggles with writing skills. I would have liked it better if these cards provided more of a model of good mechanics. Would it have killed the people at Tabletopics to at LEAST throw in a comma here and there?? (I won't even bring up the fact that the plurality of the noun and pronoun in the foreigner question doesn't match. Argh!)- The cards are supposed to be used at the table, and ours are. Unfortunately, kids, spaghetti, and white-edged cards do not really mix. After 2 months, our cards look pretty grubby. You could either look at the visible grunge as a design flaw (darker colored cards wouldn't show as much dirt), or you could view it as a testament to how much and often we really do use the cards. :-)- The price was pretty steep (especially considering all the ink they must be saving by skipping the punctuation!) I don't regret the purchase, but if these had been $12 instead of $25, I would really love them!All in all, I like these cards, but I have to remove stars for the atrocious grammar and punctuation.

I became aware of this product through kid's meals at Chick-Fil-A. We still keep 2 of these packs at our dinner table. They spark some really great conversations! I purchased this family pack assuming it would do the same and provide more topics. I was not disappointed! Put down the phones, tablets, and other screens and use these instead!

This has been such a great addition to our family dinners! It is hard to get information from your kid at the end of the day with questions like, 'how was school' 'tell me something you learned' these get everyone talking and having fun!

All ages enjoyed this game. We went off the chosen answers a few times, but that made it even more fun! Will be taking it every where with us this summer.
