Family Dinner Statistics

We all know that family time is important.  Children who eat dinner with their families 3 times a week are more likely to maintain a healthy weight, make better grades, and have a better relationship with their families.  You can check out some statistics on families that eat meals together here.

What Should Family Dinner Look Like?

But what should that family dinner look like?  Families with healthy relationships are interacting with each other, not just chowing down.  There is plenty to talk about, but we could all use some fresh ideas sometimes.  We don’t want our conversations to become mundane.  We want them to be seasoned with meaning.  We want them to have an everlasting impact.  

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” Deuteronomy 6:5-7 ESV

Christmas Dinner Conversation Starters

Here are a few Dinner Conversation Starters especially for Christmas.  You can find general Christmas questions, as well as questions designed to get your family thinking about the nativity.  Depending on the size of your family and how in depth you want to go, it may even take you a few dinners to cover them all.

Ideas for Using Your Dinner Conversation Starters…

  • Cut them apart and let family member take turn drawing questions.
  • Go around the table and let everyone answer each questions.
  • Put your cards on a key ring to keep track of them and reuse them again next year.  

If you enjoy these Christmas Dinner Conversation Starters, please let me know.  I may make Dinner Conversation Starters a monthly post!

    Conversations at our table can get kinda wild. The only time it’s quiet is when we are all super hungry. Love this idea of having conversation starters on the days we are feeling less talkative.

    My family doesn’t sit down at the same table often (Mostly because we’re a very large family in a small house, and it’s easier to sit in different places to eat, we’re normally spread out!) but we do talk with each other often. A silent house is never a happy home!

    Our family loves to sing, so there have been times we have been known to break out in song, rather than conversation. 🙂

    Having a family dinner conversation is the longest eating time and having fun with them is the best feeling.

    This is always fun to have in a jar or cup and have each family member ask a question or topic and everyone takes turns answering!

    Never had that growing up – it was a dysfunctional family that i grew up in – but what a wonderful idea this is!

Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this season of uncertainty, it feels even more important. I keep asking God to change my heart if what I want is not what he has for me, but the pull just keeps getting stronger. I am certain of what I hope for. It’s a struggle to be just as certain that He will provide it. But He is faithful even when we are not. Thank goodness!  So we will praise Him in the storm...and wait. #faith #waitingplace #godisgood #hewillprovide
