So glad you like these ideas, Tamara! I love looking back on their responses.

Totally, Sharon! On vacation, kids (and us parents) are already pushed a bit out of our comfort zone, so it makes us more willing to try new things – or answer funny conversation starters. Ha!

Bahahaha! I know, our kids get stuck on one thing forever. These family conversation starters can mix things up a bit. 😉

So good to hear, Angela! I hope they lead to great family conversations!

Hahaha so true – I have a running notes list in my phone where i type out funny things they say. I love making little keepsakes with the cute things they come up with.

Aw thanks Mayara! You make a great point that you don’t have to be a kid to use these prompts. I love hearing what my husband comes up with, too!

Ooh, I like the “new and good” idea. I think it’s great to have some structure around dinnertime conversations, at least sometimes, so you have a prompt to get the family talking.

So true Melissa! My kids and I always become closer when traveling together, especially when we’re intentional about having meaningful conversations.

Yep! Some kids won’t shut up, and some kids are like clams 😉

Darcy, you nailed it! We need to demonstrate that their ideas and contributions matter – and truly listen when they share what’s on their mind.
