52 Essential Conversations

There cards were recently recommended to me by a fellow educator and they are wonderful! As a teacher and parent, I have found these cards to be a tremendous resource for starting engaging conversations. I have already had many meaningful and thought provoking conversations. The cards are great for any age and really provide great lessons including socials skills, problem solving and building relationships. I love how the cards are categorized into different social and emotional focus areas which is useful when planning social emotional learning curriculum. As a family, we have been using the cards during dinner as conversation starters, I could see them being helpful during long road trips or carpool rides. I am so happy that I found these cards and I can already see the benefits with my class and family.

We have been using these cards at dinner time to help our three kids focus on one thing, learn how to take turns, and (greatly) improve their ability to fully listen to others. All of our children have ADHD, and we were noticing a wild dynamic at dinner time that made it hard to enjoy each others company. These cards help to slow things down, to show respect / interest and empathy toward others, and to better understand that everyone’s minds process questions differently. These are truly great for all families that simply want to raise good kids with polite conversational abilities.

This is a great Ice breaker with new friends and a great way to start dinner conversations with the kiddos.

I'm a mom, an aunt, and I work with kids on their college admissions applications, and I love that I have this new tool for connection with all of the young people in my life. Going beyond the "how are you, how was school, what are you thinking about?" questions can be difficult sometimes, so I'm always looking for creative and thoughtful ways of communicating that don't feel forced or awkward, which led me to buy 52 Conversations. I've had it for about a week now, and I love the thoughtful, creative, and open questions it asks people to explore. I think that no matter the ages of the young people in your life, it can be brought into your home or learning environment (my kids are almost 3, my nieces are in elementary school, and my college-bound students are in high school). Love it!

When I heard about this product, I thought I needed to give it a try. My three youngest (ages 12, 14, and 15) I thought could benefit from it. I used this game to help my children think about how to handle difficult times, identify their strengths, make goals, how to deal with stress, and how to ask for help. This game was a creative way to discuss these tough topics and really helped my 14 year old son problem solve and work through his anxieties. This is a great game to use with children, teens, and adults and I would highly recommend it to anyone that is struggling with anxiety, problem solving, social skills, etc.

This is really a great card set. Trying to teach my young 8 yo kiddo social emotional skills while opening up conversation with my husband. This hits two birds with one stones and really forces us to open up communication as a family and especially with the hubby who is non communicative. Awesome buy. Recommend highly. Kiddo finds it to be very fun too and wants to play it often and thereby engages hubby who is reluctant but now he finds it fun to play too so it's helping to build the bond between all of us. Life saver.

This is a great card game to start a conservation. I'm a Mental Health Peer Counselor in the Mental Health Inpatient unit as a Group. The patients love the card game and they shared their experiences with own coping strategies.

Muy buenas para conversar y compartir ideas.

I like the idea of these cards, and find them useful in my practice. However, they aren’t not as thick as playing cards and don’t hold up to regular use. I’m disappointed. Not worth the cost.
