These cards are a LOT of fun for parents and kids to do together - or you could even do this in a classroom! So, there are 13 different prompt sections: Dreamer Puzzler Narrator Ponder Buddy Zen Homer Legend Quizmaster Curious Quickfire Performer All doing different things - for instance - the "Quickfire" prompt means you have five seconds to respond! It's fun. There are also yellow cards that can do three different things: Doodler - requires craft materials Detective - needs internet access Techie - requires a phone These are fun for a lot of different situations - sitting at home, around the dinner table, on car rides, etc. Whenever you have a few minutes and want to just "talk". Teaching kids conversation skills is crucial for their social, emotional, and cognitive development. Here are some important reasons why: Conversations help children develop empathy and understanding by listening to others’ perspectives, feelings, and experiences. This fosters a sense of connection and community. Conversations also encourage kids to think critically, make connections, weigh options, consider different viewpoints, problem-solve, and articulate their thoughts. You are also trying to lay the overall foundation for effective communication. This is essential in all aspects of life: from personal relationships to academic and professional settings. As part of effective communication children can learn to recognize, understand, and regulate their emotions, as well as understanding those emotions in others. This emotional intelligence is important for building strong relationships and navigating social situations. Learning how to communicate effectively is a key component of building and maintaining relationships. By engaging in meaningful discussions kids learn to establish and maintain friendships, resolve conflicts, and develop a sense of belonging. Students who can articulate their thoughts and engage in discussions tend to perform better academically and develop a stronger sense of self. Having conversations with kids can help parents to better understand their children’s thoughts, feelings, and needs, strengthening the parent-child bond and fostering a more supportive and responsive relationship. Let's face it, it develops their vocabulary, too! Cards like these can help parents and teachers model conversation skills themselves using respectful tone, active listening, and open-ended questions. You can encourage the kids to focus on the speaker, maintain eye contact, and ask clarifying questions to demonstrate understanding as active listening. You can also encourage kids to ask open-ended questions that prompt thoughtful responses and foster deeper conversations. These cards can help to practice the role-playing that helps kids develop conversational skills in a low-stakes environment. You can also offer constructive feedback and encouragement to help kids develop confidence in their conversational abilities and empower them to become effective communicators, build strong relationships, and develop essential life skills (verbalization). The only thing a tiny bit negative I would say about these? While I do understand why they made them smaller, as they want them to be portable... BUT. I do wish they were standard playing card size. They do have the light laminate on them, and rounded edges... but they're so tiny! I feel like I could easily lose these. Upside? They ARE in a very sturdy box for storage. The writing on the cards is a decent size, too, not too tiny. Overall this is (in my opinion) a fantastic set that really can help parents/teachers both instruct about conversational how-to's, but also bond with one another, too, AND work on effective communication, empathy, and vocabulary. It's a win-win. Highly recommend!

Great idea!

I love this deck! The questions are silly and helpful provoking thinking skills for my clients.

Fun for the kids.

They’re very fun and are entertaining for all ages with how specific and silly and universal the questions are. Love how small and portable these decks are and I always go to gatherings with strangers with one of these decks. They’re improved over the question cards for kids because they are truly great for any age with how unique and comical the questions are.
