Need help making a Questions Game :) Please

**shortstack** · 11-30-2009, 11:08 AM

I plan to make my children a Dinner Table Game to give them for Christmas. The jist of it is a tin full of 100+ cards that each have 1 or more questions on them for each of us to answer. Each Dinner time both of them will get to pick one card each for us to talk about.

What sorts of things would you like to know about your children or family memebers? What sorts of things do you think they would like to know about you? Both Silly and Serious Questions welcomed

TIA
Andrea

There's a homemade gift mentioned somewhere on the forum called a Journal Jar. I made it a few years ago, if the link is still working there are a bunch of questions there.

Also, there are a ton of getting to know you chain letters that go around email, blogs and facebook. Lots of strange questions in them. I'm sure you could find several lists but can't think how you'd word the search.

What is your favorite color?
What is your favorite song?
What is your favorite ...... memory?
How did mom and dad meet?
How far did you walk to school?
What animals did you have as a child?
What is your favorite movie?
If you were an alien, what would you look like?
What do you want to be when you grow up?
If cats could talk, what would they say?
If you could have three items with you on a deserted island, what would it be and why?
Talk to me without saying a word.

This is fun. I could just sit here all day doing this.

~Name a place you would like to visit for a day
~What job would you hate to have?

~If we all wore costumes tomorrow, what would you come dressed as?
~If you were offered the lead role in a movie based on the worst book you ever read, would you take it?
~Choose an awesome nickname for yourself(or other family member)
~If we redecorated your room tomorrow, what would the new theme be?

If you could go back in time to any time period when would it be and why?

If you had $1,000 what would you do with it? (you could make this whatever $ amount you like)

This journal jar idea peaked my interest and I googled some
information on it. I found a page with questions for kids.
You didn't say how old your children were. You could take
a look though and pick and choose through the list. Here
is the link:

This sounds like alot of fun and I can play this with my
Grandkids. Thanks for a great idea!!
