Questions to Ask at the Dinner Table

A few weeks ago I ran a contest for a product called “Around the Table:  Family Talk.”  It is basically a flip card list of questions to ask your family around the table.  To enter the giveaway, I had people leave a comment on a question they would ask at the dinner table.  Everyone came up with great questions and I made a list of all the questions in case you wanted to have some ideas for around your dinner table (or road trip!)  I took out the duplicates so here goes:

What would you do if you won the lottery?

Which teacher or coach has had the most impact on you and why?

If the house was on fire what would be the fist item you would want to take with you?

What did you have for lunch today?
