TAOC The Art of Children's Conversation

I ordered this conversation game and tried it out on my seven year old granddaughter. She loved playing it with me. Right away she said it could help involve her brother who has Aspergers Syndrome. I gave the game to her and her family. If it works and also helps her brothers self esteem, what more can you ask of a game? I plan to buy two more sets. One to have when the kids come over and one to hold as a gift.

Small, portable and GREAT for social skills work as well as just to get a conversation going in a room full (or car full) of introverts. :)

These are good. Not a game at all though. Just cards with two questions to chose from as each person draws a card. Some interesting, some super easy (what's your favorite color?), some can provide interesting conversations. We use it at dinner time. Each of us draws a card and asks everyone else answers each question. For a family of 5 (plus toddler) it takes about 10 minutes to each do a card.

These questions are perfect for my grandchildren, who are 4 and 5. It's really interesting to hear their answers--not always what you might expect them to say. They are fun questions for adults, too!

An excellent tool for learning how to have helpful conversation with a child. This is written primarily for therapists, but might benefit kind parents who want to improve communication with their child.

In my house we enjoy using various "conversation starter" question packs as part of our nightly dinnertime ritual. We've been through a number of different sets and this one is ok. For what you get and compared to other sets we've used I feel that it is way overpriced and the questions aren't quite as thought-provoking as even my 9-year old hoped, but all in all it is still enjoyable.

Such a simple concept, easy to play for as long or as short as you like, and the kids love answering the questions. My daughter is sometimes aloof, and it isn't easy to find activities that she is enthusiastic about doing with me. We sat down on the floor with these cards, and she lit up while sharing her answers, and We had fun laughing together about some of them. It was such an easy thing to do to create a moment of connection.

My kids (age 5) love the questions. And it keeps them at the dinner or lunch table. One asks for "the question game" every day. But if I ask the same one two days in a row, they aren't interested in answering it again. So I can't say how long it will be useful. The questions vary from appropriate for 4 or 5 year olds to much older children. I handle this by editing before I speak. If you want it to spark CONVERSATION, you'll have to lead that yourself. It is simply questions - the conversation work you'll have to do yourself. Mine are so interested in more questions, the conversations are pretty short...lol. I DO like it and I think you might want to try it if your kids like to get up 10 times or more during dinner.

wasn't sure if this would work - but getting these cards out and watching my daughter heading into her teen years become interested and engaging has been a great way to connect and understand a little bit more about them

Esta muy bien puedes usarlo con todas las edades y trae una buena cantidad de preguntas

Its okay, sadly it wasnt made for my tech addicted kids, i could always donate it.

These are great and have introduced an element of sophistication to our mealtimes which are usually like a chimpanzee tea party. Answers they gave where interesting and revealing and we all enjoyed them.

To be honest, you could come up with most of these ideas on your own, or use ChatGPT to generate a list in seconds, but the cards are tangible, and your kids will probably like them. It’s nice to do something together that doesn’t involve phones or tablets.
