One of the popular activities in the Healthy Together program has always been the Dinner Talk cards. We usually incorporate this as a fun, family friendly craft during our sessions.
The idea is simple - build a deck of cards with conversation starter questions on them - questions the whole family can answer! Whilst we do have downloadable question sheets we always leave a few blank, or better still encourage families to create their own!
It can become part of a family tradition, and we encourage the families to use these cards at home with their family or friends and highlight that this is the start of a tradition that increases emotional connection and may be the start of conversations about import topics and values.

What other questions do you think we should include? What sparks good conversations? We'd love to hear your suggestions.
