Conversation Starters for Families to use All Year Long
Our family began a simple tradition many years ago with two simple family conversation starters that had an incredibly positive impact on our dinner conversation.
We stopped asking our kids how their day was and began asking two simple questions:
- What was the highlight of your day? (or what was your favorite part of the day?)
- What was the hardest part of your day?
Our oldest child was only around 8 years old when we began and these two questions became the foundation for our family conversation starters.
Family Conversation Starters
I began writing monthly conversation starters to inspire new conversations with my kids.
We had a great time laughing, talking, and sharing around the table all year long. This year, we are ready to start again and while the questions are the same, our answers will definitely vary.

Do you have a place to view samples of these? Also, is the year round book just all of the seasonal ones together in one place?
Hi Wendy, The best way to see samples is to watch the FB Live video. I read a few questions and show the design/layout. The year round book includes all 12 months while the season ones have 3 months. They are the same questions. The bonus “Would You Rather” questions are only in the year-round book.
Hope that helps!
I don’t see the February freebie conversation starters. Can you help me find them please? I love the idea of these!
