Back on November 21, 2022 I blogged about how Conversation Starters can also be used for Table Topics questions at a Toastmasters club meeting.
There is a web site called the Family Dinner Project that has a 6-page pdf article from 2020 listing 135 Conversation Starters. The first dozen questions are:
1] What’s something you couldn’t do when you were younger that you can do now?
2] If you had superpowers, what would they be and how would you use them to help people?
3] What’s one fun thing you hope to do in the next year?
4] Who is your favorite character from a book, movie, or TV show?
5] If you could be an animal, what would you want to be? Why?
6] If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you want to live? Why?
7] If you could have a character from a book or movie as a best friend, who would it be? Why?
8] What are three things you’re good at doing that took a lot of hard work and practice?
9] What’s the greatest song ever written and why?
10] Do you have a favorite piece of clothing? What makes it special?
11] What is your favorite season? What do you like about it?
12] If you were a season, which season would you be and why?
There also is a post from Bri DeRosa at The Family Dinner Project blog on August 29, 2023 titled 100 Ways to Ask About the Day.
I found out about the Family Dinner Project from page 146 in a 2024 book by Michael Norton titled The Ritual Effect: From habit to ritual, harness the surprising power of everyday actions.
