Review & Giveaway: Family Talk

Often when we go out to eat, we kind of just sit around all ho-hum while waiting for our food. Sometimes we'll all color together, and a few places we haunt have trivia cards on the table, so we'll pounce on those. It just makes it more fun! That's why I was so excited to discover Family Talk.


Family Talk is a portable game filled with questions to get the whole family talking - from ages 3 on up. It comes on a round carabiner like clip so you won't loose any of the cards, and it is easy to attach it to purses, backpacks, etc. Beth Daniels, the creator of Family Talk grew up with five generations of family around her, so she understands the importance of family conversations. The questions in Family Talk can help families stay connected, as well as help you learn things about older family members that maybe you never knew. There are questions like:

What makes you feel most welcomed when you get home?

What is your favorite messy food?

What was dinner time like when you were growing up?

As you can see, some of the questions might be geared for older family, but there are plenty that younger kids can answer too. Pull out this at Thanksgiving and holiday family get-togethers, and I think you'll agree how much fun it is! It's a great stocking stuffer, as well as a fun travel game to have in the car while visiting family. We had a blast playing with Family Talk when we were eating out yesterday!

Family Talk retails for $9.99, and you can purchase it online, as well as Amazon.com, and small boutique stores throughout the US. If you want more Family Talk, there is also Family Talk 2, as well as bi-lingual games geared for kids like Buddy Talk, and even Grandparent Talk! (Guess what's on my wishlist?) If you're interested in purchasing it from their website, promo code THANKYOU at checkout will save you 20%!
