With sports and activities cancelled, and many working from home, families around the country will be sitting down for many more meals together. We’ve gathered a list of questions to get the conversations flowing. Print it out and post on the fridge, or if you need a project for the kids, have them cut out the questions into strips (fine motor skills practice!) or hand write them (it takes more time!) and put them into a jar. Draw a new question each meal.
