 Christmas Conversation Cards



After the success of the Thanksgiving conversation cards, I made a new set for Christmas.  This time we're doing it on Zoom, but the principle is the same.  The only changes are that I draw the card and read it to each person.  We started with the oldest (that would be me), and went chronologically to the youngest. There really is no way to do that visually on Zoom since everyone sees a different order on the screen, but it's just as fun.  Here's the link:

 A Thanksgiving Food Set of Conversation Starters




So often the younger people in a family get left out of the conversation in family gatherings.  It's not by intent, and we all want the kids to talk, but what should they talk about?  At our last Thanksgiving, we all sat in a circle and passed around a basket with these questions printed/cut out.  Everyone had to answer the question they got UNLESS they really didn't know anything about it; if so, they got to put that question back and draw again, but only once!  It really was fun and got a lot of talking started!  Here's the link:
