Welcome back to our year-long table topics series.   Each month, I share a list of “table topics” that will help to get the conversation rolling at your dinner table.  If you are a teacher, these will make great lunch room table topic starters.

table topics from Growing Book by Book https://growingbookbybook.com

All you need to do is print the topics.  Cut them into strips.  Place them in a decorative container.  Put the container on your table.  Each night, select one topic to discuss over dinner.  Viola, the table conversation is now ready to start!

This month all of the topics are centered around naming as many things as you can think of that… Click here for the printable list of March Table Topics.  Let’s get talking!

Name as many things as you can that begin with the letter M.

Name as many things as you can that can roll.

Name as many things as you can that have numbers on them.

Name as many things as you can that are made out of wood.

Name as many things as you can that make noise.

Each month there is a theme to the table topics.  Some are fun.  Some are serious.  All are meant to get your creative juices flowing and develop language skills.  Here is a look at the year.

    A great game for kids. Only limited by your imagination. A good opportunity to just “have fun” with your kids. I love it.l

    Love these! I may use some for table talk, but some are going in my travel pack…we usually make a big drive each summer from Rhode Island to the Midwest, so these would be perfect entertainment for those loooong miles! I may borrow your topics for the rest of the year to come up with my own for the trip.
