Cafe tables

You can help encourage conversation with those who come along to your cafe by putting a couple of Table Talk cards on each table. Allow people to pick the questions and direct the conversation.

Cafe room

You could have a ‘question of the day’ written somewhere, so everyone is talking about the same thing. Put it on a whiteboard and let people add comments, or use a TV screen to display the question.

Youth ice-breaker

Ask a young person to choose a topic, then pick a card from that deck. They can answer it themselves, or open it up to the rest of the group.

School classroom

Use Table Talk cards as an ice-breaker activity for a lesson or a tutor group. Pass out cards for students to discuss in small groups, or read out one question from the front.

Social

When you meet up with friends, take one theme from a Table Talk pack with you. Alternatively, suggest getting together specifically to chat about life, you could even make it a regular event! This works great in a pub, cafe or restaurant setting.

Families

Grab some cards or coasters and use them round the dinner table or on a car jounrney. You could even make up some of your own questions for a unique family expansion pack!

Free gift

If you are running an event, you could give a free coaster to every person who attends.
