101 Conversation Starters for Families

To get your family close, you have to get it talking.

One of the signs of a healthy family is open and meaningful conversation. But it's not always easy to get your kids talking. 101 Conversation Starters for Families is an excellent place to begin, providing just the right blend of fun and thought-provoking questions, such as:

• If you could ask God a question, what would you ask?
• Complete this sentence: “I feel especially close to you when . . .”
• About trading places:
• Children: I think the best part about being a grown-up would be . . .
• Parents: I think the best part about being a kid would be . . .
