Is this a familiar sight? Everyone gathered around the table, ready to eat a delicious Texas barbecue meal…with smartphones out, each person focused on their own little techno-infused world.
Yeah, it happens to us, too. But one of the things we love about going out to dinner as a family is the chance to put everything else aside – even our phones – and reconnect. It’s great to talk about what’s going on with everyone, and of course it’s great to have someone else worry about making the delicious Texas BBQ and sides and doing the dishes!
But sometimes it can be hard to get your family – and especially your teens – to open up. That’s why we love this list of great dinner conversation topics. These topics are perfect for time spent around any dinner table, whether at your home or ours! They’re fun and witty, and they’re sure to get kids of all ages talking.
Be sure to check out the full list for more ideas, but here are a few of our favorites:
- What’s the grossest thing you’ve ever eaten?
- Fill in the blank: I remember the time…
- What’s your favorite (fill in the blank)?…everyone around the table answers.
We hope this helps your family connect over a delicious meal, whether it’s at home or at Big Al’s Texas BBQ. Enjoy some family time!
