The question game!

Meal time can feel chaotic and my mama heart longs for it to be relational and life giving. The time we all come together after a long day and share our thoughts or learn something new. Perhaps it will as they grow but it can't now with all the "Eat two more bites", "Yes, you do have to finish those Brussel Sprouts" or "Stop putting your feet on someone else's chair".

So, we play the question game. We have some printed out on sticks, we make others up, or we Google lists to learn new things and test each other to see if we share the same knowledge. 

Because, I know I am not alone when breakfast takes too long and dinner is full of too many "Please sit down" commands here are a few if you need them for your table too!
