Getting By

Are you looking for ideas to liven up the large gathering dinner conversations? Or perhaps you need to steer the conversation in a different direction. If so, here are some conversation starter questions for all age—do not forget to involve the kids.

• If you could have named yourself, what name would you have picked?

• What do you think is the hardest thing about being a kid?

• If you could eat only one food on this table for an entire year, which one would it be?

• If you were an animal, what would you be?

• Would you rather not shower for a week or not brush your teeth for a week?

• Who is the funniest person at the table and why?

• Pretend you just won $5 million. What’s the first thing you would buy?

• What do you think is the hardest thing about being a parent?

• What are you most thankful for this year? (You knew it was coming.)

• If you could redo yesterday, what would you do?

• If you could only eat three things for the rest of your life, what would they be?

• If you could be famous for something, what would it be?

• How did you celebrate Thanksgiving when you were my age?

• What was your favorite thing about where you grew up?

Whether you use one or many of these questions, I hope you have some fun listening to others’ answers and answering them yourself.
