Conversation Starters
This post may contain affiliate links. Read our full disclosure policy.
"Conversation Starters" are questions that can be used for a party, interview, or are handy to have in case you are involved in a conversation that is going nowhere fast.
This list of dinner conversation questions actually came from my list of pageant interview practice questions from when I participated in pageants (many) years ago!
When you'd like to use these, print them, cut into strips, and place in a bowl.
If using these conversation starters at a dinner party, take turns drawing a question and let the person who drew the question answer it.
Using these questions are a great way to help teach children what we call at our house the "art of delightful conversation". Use them the same way and go around the table, discussing each question.
One of my favorite uses for these conversation starters are as clean truth or dare questions.

Tabletopics Game Review
I received a Tabletopics Game as a birthday gift, and I wanted to share with you how it went! (The gift giver knew what I liked!) It is a game that is full of questions that are a of a lot of conversation starters.
I had several girlfriends come over to my house for snacks and games and to a href=

play bunco. Before playing that game though, we decided to play the Tabletopics game. The edition I received was the 70's edition.
First, I think this makes a really great gift. It is packaged in a cube, making it efficient to store and it looks nice enough to keep out on the coffee table all the time. There are several different editions available (60's, girls night, family, travel) so you are sure to find something that will be interesting to you and your friends! The game we used came with 135 questions.
We went around the circle about five times, and each answered a question. It was a great way to get to know each other better (and we thought we already did!) It was perfect for our intimate gathering of six friends as a true ice breaker before we moved on to a heated game of bunco!
This Amazon link will take to you to the Tabletopics game where you can explore the different editions available and read more customer reviews.
