Conversation starters for the table

At a Thanksgiving table, conversations often drift to the usual topics. Gratitude questions bring everyone into a shared moment: an unexpected blessing, someone outside the family you are thankful for, a small everyday comfort. The wheel picks the question.

Spin before the meal and ask everyone to answer, or spin for one question per course. Let people pass if they prefer.

Including everyone

Keep answers short so the food stays warm. Children can answer with drawings. Add questions that fit your family, and keep a record of the answers to read the following year.
