Not Your Average Conversation Starter
Let’s face it, our lives are so busy sometimes just getting dinner onto the table can be considered a win, other times you spend extra time preparing something special and then….....it doesn’t quite go to plan. To help parents to make the most of every opportunity to connect with their children we developed unique questions and games to play over dinner. They make mealtimes easier, more fun and provide social, emotional and academic benefits for your children too!
Make Changes To Your Mealtimes You Can See And Feel
Let customers speak for us
My kids always complain about having to eat at the table but not anymore. They love this game and have requested to play it every night since we received it! It’s so much fun and hilarious to see what responses they come up with. They’re 4, 8 and 13 for reference.
Our family is busy most of the time. In the rare occasion when we all sit down together sometimes the conversation turns to reminders to be polite at the table, etc. I would rather have the topics be about our thoughts and opinions. We tried the Around the Table Teen Pack as a family. At first there was a lot of push back from my teenaged sons. Soon though I got to a card that all wanted to answer. There were smiles and laughter instead of behavior reminders and grumbling. Thanks for the awesome reminder that family dinner conversations can be a time to bond as a family!
A fantastic idea and so much fun. All the family absolutely loves the original family dinner pack. We even brought it on holidays with us! Great for all ages, couples and friends. Would make a wonderful gift for any occasion. I highly recommend
Single solo parent and my older mum in hospital so really appreciated taking time to share thoughts prompted by your cards…
We have not started playing this game as yet. We have just shifted to a new home and I bought this game to play with grandchildren and of course they have not visited as yet. Looking forward to playing with them.
Our teenagers are asking to get out the cards. Now instead of arguing over dinner there is fun interaction and conversation.
The original order went missing in the post and The team had no hesitation in resending the package. Thanks!
We’ve had the Name Game for a couple of weeks and our 5 and 2.5 year old are loving it. The game has put an exciting spin on family dinner time which had become dreary with the same conversations about our days and complaints about the food on offer. The kids are happy to sit at the table for much longer and end up eating more of the food in front of them whilst playing!
The kids absolutely love these! Really makes dinner time fun and we learn so much about each other. Teaches kids to listen to each other and added bonus is getting the kids to do some extra reading.
This is so much fun, brings the family closer, and is interactive! I love it!
We love these cards! I gave my 3 and 5 year olds an early Xmas present so we could take them away on a family holiday. A great way to involve the kids in dinner conversations and have fun learning lots of things about each other. Highly recommend these cards!
Purchased as a future gift - unable to review as yet.
Can’t review yet I have put away for Xmas
We trialled this game and absolutely loved it. Great for all ages, fun and engaging with relevant and thought provoking topics and scope for healthy competition amongst players. Highly recommended!
We trialled The Name Game with our kids aged 5, 9 and 11 and it was perfect for all of us. The instructions were super clear (with no loopholes for the older kids to exploit the little one!!) It was easy to play over dinner, and actually started off some other interesting conversations and learning opportunities. It will be added to our other conversation cards that we keep near the table ready for some connection over dinner. And because they're so easily portable and don't have little pieces that can get lost, they'll be perfect for us to take on car trips and holidays too.
