Grandparent Talk-perfect game for holiday gatherings

During this upcoming holiday season, many of us will spend time with our parents and grandparents. It can be so hard to have time to just sit and talk these days, with everyone’s schedules so busy. Even my parents are hard to spend time with, they have busier schedules than I do! But while we are visiting this Thanksgiving, I’ve got the perfect way to “break the ice” and get us all talking- the Grandparent Talk game from Around The Table Games.

Grandparent Talk is 100 cards held together with a sturdy clip, and on each card is a question designed to get Grandparents talking about their lives. Grandparent Talk is designed to help deepen intergenerational relationships among family members and keep family history alive. Children might be surprised at how much they have in common with their Grandparents. Here are sample questions:

• What kind of toys did you have?
• What kinds of pets did you have? What were their names?
• What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you?

Here’s a link to Retail Locations where you can buy Grandparent Talk and other Around the Table Games like Family Talk and Family Talk 2.   This game would be an excellent gift for Grandparents or a purchase to make to keep around the house for when Grandparents visit (or if you are a Grandparent, for when the Grandkids visit). You might even want to videotape the answers to the questions for a video family history!
