One of the best ways to AVOID hot topics and concurrently build rapport are conversation starters!

I've compiled some fun ones you can use at the Thanksgiving table today:

-What does your PERFECT day look like?
-If you could instantly become an expert in anything, what would it be?
-If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
-If you had a time machine for just one day, what would you do with it?

-What is your best memory over the last year and why?
- If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would you choose and why?
-What’s one thing you can’t live without?
-What’s your favorite movie of all time? Why?
-What about your favorite book? Why?

-What about your favorite place on Earth?
-What are you MOST thankful for?
-What was your first job?
-What is your earliest memory?
-What are you most proud of in your life?

-If you could go back in time and give your younger self a piece of advice, what would you tell yourself?
-If you could have a conversation with anyone in history living or dead, who would it be? What would you want to ask them?

-Who is or was your favorite teacher in school? Why?
-If you could have just one wish, what would it be?
-What traits do you most admire in other people? Why?
-What is the nicest thing someone did for you this year?
-What is the nicest thing you did for someone else this year?

This was a lot, but you get the idea. Conversation starters are a great way to create a fun positive MEMORABLE atmosphere and will help you avoid contentious topics. 👍
